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.

Kirschner

Kraft Foods North Global
Inc.
Sincerely,
Georgia AFL-CIO WIN
Send a letter to the following decision maker(s):
Mr. Tom Kirschner
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]
