You really need to vette your sources before posting.>

Lol, you need to read the link associated with a post before going off on wild and elongated tangents.

The story made clear that there were still several Hershey's plants in the US. I also knew that from reading articles when the announcement was first made. That article is from a union point of view, but it is also accurate in what Hershey moved and what remains in the US.

Reese Butter cups are still made in Pennsylvania.

And Hershey, which BCTGM's predecessor unions first organized during World War II, now has only two unionized plants in the U.S., one in Hershey and the other, in Hazelton, Penn., with the United Food and Commercial Workers. There's even a non-union Hershey's plant in Hershey, making Reese's peanut butter cups. "But at least at that plant, they kept wages at par with wages in our plants," Clark adds.

No. Not just Reese Butter cups.

FWIW, Hershey closed a plant in Canada and moved some of those operations back to the US and some to Mexico. They also closed a plant in CA but if you know anything about the labor laws in CA, you wouldn’t blame them.

LOL! My wild and elongated tanget? I don’t post from sources that proudly proclaim to be the direct descendant of the Daily Worker and who’s stated goal is to popularize the ideas of Marxism and enjoys a special relationship with the Communist Party USA. I don’t read such pro-Marxist, pro-Communist screeds.

Pro-union? Pro-union I could somewhat stomach but a website that is blatantly pro-Marxist and pro-Communist? No thanks. I would also note that the article you posted is full of half truths, some outright lies and many factual omissions.

Do you always go to pro-Marxist and pro-Communist websites for information to post here on FR?
