But the talking heads always like to say that the problem is that trade isn't free enough, or we haven't tried enough austerity.

Hershey Canada Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Hershey Company that manufactures confectionery products in Canada. Major brands include CHIPITS, EAT-MORE, GLOSETTE, HERSHEY'S, JOLLY RANCHER, OH HENRY!, REESE, and TWIZZLER

seems to be quite a few Ontario business relocating, possibly a common factor? (high taxes & militant union? hmmmm)

Hershey's relocation in 2007 seemed to be due difficulties with the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) union

  • AT A GLANCE: HERSHEY CORPORATE
    HERSHEY CORPORATE:
    • Hershey said last week that its fourth-quarter profit dropped almost 65 percent. Sales were almost flat and it predicted a drop in earnings in 2008.
    • PRICE INCREASE:
    • Hershey increased wholesale prices by 13 percent this week on standard chocolate bars, king-size bars, six-packs and vending lines.
    • MASS RESIGNATIONS:
    • The Hershey Trust, which owns nearly 78 percent of the company, ousted and replaced eight of 11 members of the candy maker's board of directors in November. The move came eight days after Richard H. Lenny, Hershey's chairman, president and chief executive, abruptly announced he would leave the company. He was replaced by David J. West.
      PLANT CLOSURES:
    • Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada; 500 workers
    • Naugatuck, Conn.; 200 workers
    • Reading, Pa.; 260 workers
    • Oakdale; 575 workers
    • Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada; 580 workers
    • Montreal; about 200 workers

      ADDITIONAL CUTBACKS:
    • Hershey, Pa.; 900 workers of the 3,000 from three plants in Hershey were offered buyouts or early retirement
    • Lancaster, Pa.; 80 to 100 workers
