I thought Hershey had moved all their chocolate making factories overseas...
Anyway, that's why I've been boycotting their products.

I can’t imagine them being “offended”. When I was a kid every job went just as I wanted. I never had to listen to a boss, get done on time, dress right, stay busy, or keep my work station clean. These people must be sooooo abused.

"was designed in part to fill seasonal tourism jobs at resorts and seaside towns." So how's that ocean view from a packing plant in PA?

Some of the students were assigned night shifts, and said they were pressured to work faster and faster on the factory lines.
Oh the humanity!!!!
Walk off the job and walk their asses right on back to where ever they came from.

Simple solution = put them all on the first flight out of here to where ever they all came.
To: blam
Sounds bad.
They should go home.
Perhaps there are some hungry, out-of-work Americans that would be very happy to have the employment.

Most jobs I had from high school to uni were mostly underpaying, miserable workplaces (except for the bodyguard and driver for the biggest escort service in the city back in college but that’s another tale :).
That’s the point these foreign a-holes don’t get. YOU START AT THE BOTTOM. After college or university, you move up the payscale and later on you become your own boss.

I think they sent some of the plants to Mexico.
Back when that happened, I bought a bag of Special Dark baking chips and got really sick from them.
I haven’t bought any Hershey products, since.

Send every one of them home on their own dime and take 400 chocolate loving Americans off the PA welfare rolls NOW.
And repeat the process with illegal immigrants...starting with the Kenyan!

The 400 students employed at a Pennsylvania factory that makes Hershey's candies told The New York Times that even though they make $8.35 an hour, their rent and program fees are deducted from their paychecks, leaving them with less money than they spent to get the visas and travel to the country in the first place. Let the buyer beware applies to jobs too.
They should have read the contract carefully and did the math.
