(I am sure that most in this group know about this lovely little move, but what interested me were the comments after this particular article--blaming the union workers, of course!!)

1. I loved the comment about line workers making $26 an hour. Yea, sure.

The line workers compensation probably is $26.00 per hour. That will include the money the company spends on health care, the money the company spends on parking and the employees part of heating and cooling on down the line.

The AFL-CIO has approved your request to include Mondelez International on the list of AFL-CIO national boycotts. Specifically, the boycott will apply to all Mondelez International snack food products that are labeled 'Made in Mexico,' including Oreos, Newtons, Chips Ahoy, Honey Grahams, Animal Crackers, Ritz Crackers, Premium, Belvita, Lorna Doane, Teddy Grahams, Honey Maid, and Wheat Thins. In accordance with the policy on boycott endorsements adopted by the AFL-CIO Executive Council, the federation will maintain the "Made in Mexico" snack products of Mondelez International on its published boycott list for up to one year from the date of endorsement unless your union requests an earlier termination of the listing. At the end of the year, you may request to have the company included on the list for another 12 months.
