22 May 2019 Mondelēz Shareholders Meeting: “Shame on You!”

Posted at 12:17h in Boycotts, Check the Label, Mondelez by

For a forth year in a row, BCTGM union members from around the country descended on Lincolnshire, Ill. for the 2019 Nabisco/Mondelēz shareholder meeting.

Despite the rejection by last year’s shareholders for the proposed CEO pay package, Dirk Van De Put’s pay grew to be 489 times larger than the median employee pay – which decreased 28% in the same time period.

Today, Nabisco workers in Mexico earn as little as 97 cents per hour, while their CEO takes home $42 million and the corporation profits in the billions.

As protesters on the ground and online chanted: “that’s not just low, it’s OREOlow!”

The Union and supporters made noise about it outside the Shareholders’ Venue last Wednesday, Live-streaming on Facebook here:

As protesters stirred things up on the ground, supporters all across the country supported them online – over nine thousand people tuning in to watch, react to and/or share the video on Facebook.

544 supporters shared this graphic on social media, reaching upwards of 50 thousand people, and Twitter posts shared by supporters and affiliated Unions reached nearly 450 thousand unique feeds.

Each year, the Union and Campaign strive to reach more and more homes to expose injustice against the workers at Nabisco/Mondelēz. Numbers show it is working and people at home and abroad agree: this is not a sustainable business model and it must stop NOW!

You can learn more about the workers’ struggle from Assistant Strategic Campaign Director Nate Zeff in the video below, and support U.S. workers by boycotting all Nabisco snacks made in Mexico.
