big news day if you're into chocolate!

Having solved all problems in New York City, Mayor Swagger attacks the 800-pound gorilla in the room - chocolate milk. Wouldn't that be racist if a white guy did that?

Hershey’s Chocolate Workers in Virginia Are Unionizing

Some 1,300 workers at Hershey’s Virginia candy manufacturing plant are voting on whether to unionize. It’s the latest chapter in nearly a century of vicious anti-union skulduggery — and workers’ determined efforts to organize — at the chocolate giant.

Well fuck me, I didn't even know there was a Hershey plant in Stuarts Draft, Virginia.....It's only 100 miles away.

Sadly Hershey's will just move to Mexico, and there will be no penalty for it.

Of, for, and by the corporation.

As for the chocolate milk thing the reason kids toss the plain milk is because it's that 1% or 2% swill, not the more wholesome whole milk. Then by the time they get it it's half-way warm then it really sucks. At least with the 1-2% chocolate milk they will drink it.

That racist shithead mayor smokes pot. He lines his lungs with carbon. And he wants to lecture on health. What a fucking moron.

Good for the workers. Enough of the mistreatment.

A vegan mayor? That's all well and good but her personal preferences shouldn't be forced on everyone else. What's next? A gay mayor that wants to ban a man and woman having sex?

Even beyond that, with all the problems we have is chocolate milk really that crucial that it would even show up on his radar?

What these Hershey workers are failing to realize is that the union doesn't pay them squat when they are on strike.

A friend of mine worked in a warehouse that was unionized and the union bosses called a strike. The picket pay that they wanted to pay him was actually LESS than what the company was offering in wages and the union was bitching about it.

That's the real problem with unions, they are cheap and they refuse to pony up and give the members what they are worth when they call a strike.
