More Hershey news

The Montreal plant, with 150 nonunion employees, was operating at less than 40 percent of capacity, according to Hershey spokesman Kirk Saville.

Employees at the Montreal plant will receive a "very competitive severance package," Saville said. He would not provide details.

Saville said Hershey is negotiating a severance package with the union representing workers at the Smiths Falls plant. Employees at the Dartmouth plant also are represented by a union -- Local 446 of Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco and Grain Millers International -- that will negotiate a severance package.

Saville said Hershey is committed to the Canadian market, despite closing its three plants in the country. As part of its realignment program, Hershey will increase the use of manufacturing partners in Canada for products to be distributed in both Canada and the U.S., Saville said.

Wonder what that means ?? Wait and see, I guess.
