I guess I’m still in the old school line of thinking when it comes to wages...you don’t the pay..move on to another job...it’s that simple....same for working conditions...you donna no like..go somewhere else... No body is making you stay at your place of employment. But here you have illegals pounding the pavement....well then go back to Mexico and see if you can do better for yourselves.

In the United states nobody ‘Owes you’ a job no matter who you are. ..and once you have one nobody owes you wages you think you should get.....don’t like...go somewhere else.

Leftist Bernie lovers get what they deserve. I’ve boycotted these hippy ice cream makers for years.

Well actually it doesn’t matter what political views they hold in this case.....it’s a business and illegals shouldn’t be gripping about wages if they agreed to work for a certain wage...that’s how it works in the USA.

Go back to Mexico and earn the wage you’re looking for... I could care less if they have work here or not. Level playing field means you get to do what the rest of us do...move on if you don’t like the terms.

I’m sure some would be willing to bet the farm on that one.

I can’t criticize Ben an Jerrys ice cream quality or flavor, but it’s greatly overpriced and they are a massive corporation cynically playing the leftist hippie, enviro- activist marketing angle. In that way, they deserve any negative publicity they get

This is what has happened to the family farm. There are less and less of them and the corporate farms have hired Mexicans, and other immigrants, to do the milking.

Used to be mom and pop and sons and daughters who ran the farm. 50 50 cow heard, knew each cow and what they produced and took care of them. Now they are a number and if they drop in the collection yard they drag them off after they die.

I have seen the youngstock farms for these places first hand where they dug up several dead calves hauling manure.

But this is Ben and Jerry's, right?

Not for a long, long time. They were bought out by Unilever in 2000. I did some quick research to be sure.

It must be a Vermont thing for fake liberals to sell out for their personal gain.
