The deal is barely closed and they are moving production to Poland. They also said that plans were too far advanced to cancel now. Strange that. :shock:

And now I feel completely justified in my Kraft/Cadbury's boycott.

Where's the strike? Closure of the factory has been announced for more than 10h and nothing's on fire! If they are to lose their jobs, they should make the most noise possible about it.

Maybe they ate too much chocolate? That's what I'd do in the situation ;)

The problem is, if you make it harder for companies to get rid of staff & jobs, they will be more reluctant to take people on - which doesn't exactly help the unemployment situation.

Cadbury has no desire to massively employ in the Uk anyway ;) And if they have to hire in the country they will always do it.

Not necessarily, they'll get hold of agency staff instead - they're much easier to get rid of.
