A sad sign of the times

Sad sign of the times as reported in the business section of the Toledo Blade: Hershey closes Pa. plant, moves to site in Mexico

The story details that production of York Peppermint Patties and other candy brands is ending at the Hershey Co. plan in Reading, Pa. after 23 years.

The chocolate maker closed the facility yesterday and will move production to a new factory it has built in Monterey, Mexico. 260 workers have been laid off with this move.

I'm sure the executive board of Hershey will adjust the prices of the affected products including the York Peppermint Patties downward to reflect the sub-standard wages they will more than likely be paying in Mexico. That's sarcasm folks.

Just another example of an American company selling out its loyal workforce to make an additional profit. Sad, but true. And 260 more workers who more than likely did nothing to deserve this slap in face will join countless others in the unemployment line next week.

Where does it end folks? Where does it end?
