Now Cadbury has been sold to Kraft the inevitable job losses have happened.
Sadly,gone are those times when company owners put the welfare of their workers first. I am not saying that owners should not sell their business but when a business has grown to the point when it becomes part of the fabric of a community, it is vital to protect the community, workers, patents and processes that can be lost forever.
If any company endangered its workforce through dangerous practices or damaged the environment, the might of the law would come done hard on its owners.
But if a major company supporting a community is sold with potential devastating effect, the top management walk away rich whilst the workers and the community suffer, families often destroyed, businesses collapse, services diminished. This in my view is just as bad as breaching health and Safety laws or polluting a river.
It just should not be allowed to happen!
