Two comments on MN:

They left out the part where they were eliminating a bunch of their customer base as well. Consolidation in Chicago won't bring more customers.

The Snowman • 11 hours ago They also are planning to close the Davenport Iowa plant as well BUT they want to build a new $203 million dollar state of the art plant if the city and state will give them some economic incentives but because of the new plant they will need only 475 employees instead of the now 1,414 employees. So basically they are saying bend over and give so you can keep 1/3 of your citizens there jobs so they can pay taxes so we don't have to.

I am sure the NLRB will be forcing them to keep those important democrat union jobs until 2017...

We had a Heinz plant about 1/2 mile from my house in the Pocatello area. Heinz announced a closure and Amy's snapped up the property. The signage changed. The products changed. Most of the employees are still employed. Fine by me. Amy's makes stuff I like eat. Aside from ketchup and mustard, I don't buy many other Heinz products.

Kraft Heinz will move its Illinois office from the former Kraft headquarters in suburban Northfield to downtown Chicago early next year

Earlier this year, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said here ==> ( http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/07/chicago-mayor-rahm-emanuel-city-jobs-internships-will-go-to-illegal-aliens/ ) that "sanctuary city" Chicago was going to start giving city jobs and internships to illegal aliens.

Kraft Heinz probably wants to use Chicago as a conduit for cheap illegal alien factory labor.

Can someone explain to me what the fascination is with putting your corporate headquarters in downtown Chicago?

I can't imagine (well NYNY) a worst place to run your business from.

Well, I stopped buying Kraft products a number of years ago when I learned they used fetal stem cells in their research and development.

To the best of my knowledge, they still do. They need to either stop or go out of business.

I wonder if the decline in fast food burger sales is affecting the ketchup and mustard business.

Well, if there are no more hotdogs, hamburgers and french fries in the school lunches, they’re bound to use less ketchup and mustard.

Michelle Obama’s fault.
