Fig Newton Boycott

Greetings,

Kraft Foods has moved the production of Fig Newtons to Mexico and announced the outsourcing of Honey Grahams.   As the economic crisis continues its alarming effect on this country Kraft Company is sending hundreds of US jobs to Mexico. This will clearly have an adverse affect on the Atlanta, Georgia plant, its employees and their families.  Please support US made products and good jobs here so workers have decent wages and working conditions.

Sincerely,

Below is the sample letter:

Subject: Boycott Fig Newtons

Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],

The members of our union will join with the Atlanta North Georgia Labor Council to support our brothers and sisters of the (BCTGM) Bakery Confectionery Tobacco Workers & Grain Millers Local 42 in boycotting Mexican made Kraft/Nabisco Fig Newton Products.

As the economic crisis continues its alarming effect on this country we cannot support the Kraft Company sending hundreds of US jobs to Mexico.

We will not buy any Fig Newton products until they are made in the USA. If Kraft/Nabisco proceeds with their plans to outsource the production of Honey Grahams we will also boycott them. This outsourcing will clearly have an adverse impact on the Atlanta, Georgia plant, its employees and their families.

Our members and community allies stand in solidarity, committed to taking the necessary action to support our brothers and sisters and USA made products with decent wages and fair working conditions for US workers.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
