PLUS!!...
The union contract included health insurance paid entirely by the company, and generous leave that could add up to 10 weeks a year when vacation, sick days and holidays were counted.
No wonder Kraft dumped it. It wouldn't surprise me if Brynwood is a hidden subsidiary of Kraft, operating only to do unseemly "wet work" on behalf of Kraft so that Kraft doesn't have to get its hands dirty... Anyway, this sounds to me like Brynwood had to play games in order to justify the sale of the company to a non-union shop in another state where the company could possibly earn an evil profit while avoiding trouble with the NLRB.
I’m not sure if what Brynwood sold Lance was the company per se, or just the recipes and the brand name. It will be interesting to see what Lance Stellas end up tasting like.
