Hershey PA update

From Patriot News, PA

Six hundred to 650 jobs could be eliminated at two Derry Twp. chocolate plants under a proposed settlement between The Hershey Co. and Chocolate Workers Local 464.

Dennis Bomberger, business manager of the union, said the cuts would occur over a three-year period. The cuts represent more than a fourth of the 2,200 union members who work at the main chocolate plant at 19 E. Chocolate Ave. and the West Hershey facility.

If members don't approve the settlement, "the negotiating committee believes the alternative is even worse," he said. ......Ya don't say .....
