Finally .. someone with guts !

And he's not kissing Rick Lenny's ass !

Retiree goes it alone in boycott-Hershey movement

Mike Cvetko’s car is pasted with chocolate-colored bumper stickers, on the bumper, the windows, the sides. They read: “Don’t buy Hershey products.”


The retired Hummelstown businessman is on a mission to stop the company from moving jobs to Mexico, organizing protests that include one this weekend to coincide with the opening of Hersheypark’s centennial season.

“This has nothing to do with the union,” he explained. “This has to do with corporate greed. There was no reason for what they plan to do, shift these jobs to Mexico.”

“I decided that it’s time for something to be done about the greed of The Hershey Company,” he said.

It’s a big job, he acknowledged. Cvetko and a few helpers have been standing at key points along Hersheypark Drive at various times with signs that read: “Global Boycott of Hershey Products,” “Hershey Not Mexico,” Don’t Buy Hershey Products,” “Hershey Stays in Hershey,” and “Is it Need? Or is it Greed?”


Cvetko held his signs high and his fist raised outside the company’s shareholder meeting two weeks ago. Since then, he has been conducting one-man protests with his signs at various places near Hershey’s facilities.


Way to go !!!
