No Jobs for U.S. workers declares Bill Johnson, CEO at Heinz, on Wall Street Journal Report last Saturday
Last Saturday, the CEO of Heinz, best known for ketchup production, told Maria Bartiromo that Heinz will not be hiring Americans this year.
The reason he gave was the ‘uncertainty’ produced by the ‘inability’ of the government to decide on really important things such as the tax rate his business will pay. He announced at the same time on the same program that Heinz will be opening facilities and hiring in other countries, and concentrated on China where they make soy sauce.

Maybe my information is incorrect, but your post is not inconsistent with my memory.
Who knows just how much equity the Heinz’ family has in those investment firms?
Fact is, Heinz/Kerry are filthy rich and they got their great wealth initially from a company that is now sending jobs overseas.
Are we supposed to not buy Hunts Ketchup instead?
I'm going with the alternative Ketchups forever now.
I definately didn’t know that there are two Aldi’s. I just knew that Aldi started carrying some of the Trader Joe’s brands after they acquired them. I personally like the stores. Now I am wondering which one I am going to. The one that is linked to Trader Joes, or the one that isn’t.
The first time I ever saw an Aldis was when I was visting Germany. I was surprised to see one here in the United States. I was even more surprised to see how big they were over here.
Thanks for posting. We’re paying USAID NGO’s to instruct other countries on difficult HI-TECH jobs. It’s truly amazing and not a word from the Industrial Media Complex - IMC or many others for that matter...
Brooks. I’ve used it for 40+ years. Never was a fan of Heinz. Brooks was always the best.
Heinz or Heinzo?
Only footage I ever saw of Heinz was at the London 1972 Rock And Roll Show. He’s followed by Screamin’ Lord Sutch, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley, Little Richard, and Chuck Berry.
Mick Jagger scoffs because he says he can’t believe anyone would still be interested all those years after the first go round.

| I read somewhere that the Heinz family still owns 4% of the stock
Let's say that again: the single largest shareholder has less than 1/3 of 1% of the stock.
In order to be good Americans, we must see to it that all the people who work for H.J. Heinz become unemployed. This is how we will stop them from moving jobs to China! By the way, Heinz makes soy sauce in China. Soy sauce. China. Get it? In China they sell soy sauce. It's kinda like selling ketchup here. |

this is a non-issue. shares are so widely scattered .... they are owned by almost everyone and everything.
The Heinz Company that is so disassociated with the Teresa Heinz who almost (now clearly) became the first African born resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue save the result of the mal informed voting Americans of the Ohio Valley.
I'll boycott Heinz for now.
Let them come out and with some commercials that explains why that is such a bad idea.

I don't know how they could. There are 318.3 million shares outstanding. The single largest shareholder is the chairman, Johnson, who has just under one million shares. That's less than one-third of one per cent of the stock.
And who knows what else those firms are invested in? Quick! Boycott everything! They might own Mattel stock! Or Ford! Don't let the Heinz cooties get on your money!
