Many of you may have already heard about Hershey laying off workers and moving plants over seas. I was just reminded of it today, so I did a little research to see how bad it really is. I was quite shocked. Here’s a quote from an article I found on line:
They are also closing a plant in California.
They say that they are doing all of this to save money on operating costs. What ever happened to Milton Hershey’s vision? I’m sure he never envisioned laying off the very people that made his company so successful, particularly those in Hershey’s hometown, Hershey, PA. Meanwhile the prices for the amusement park are keep going up. This year the a day pass for an adult is nearly $50, and an evening pass is almost $24!
