I Called Hershey

Unlike other chocolate companies, Hershey has not agreed to participate in any certification programs to track its global supply chain and institute labor standards for its cocoa suppliers.  Additionally, the company has been restructuring its global manufacturing leading to fewer jobs for unionized workers.

It is time for Hershey to take responsibility for worker rights from bean to bar!  Join activists across the country in calling Hershey NOW!

CALL HERSHEY AT 1-800-468-1714 (Dial “0” to reach an operator – if you have any trouble, try 717-534-4200).  The sample script is listed below.

Call-In Script:
Hi, my name is ___ and I’m calling from ____.  This Saturday is World Day against Child Labor.  As a Hershey consumer, I’m very concerned about the continued use of child labor, forced labor and trafficking in West Africa’s cocoa industry as well as the way Hershey’s factory workers are treated globally.  I want to know that all the workers who had a hand in making my chocolate – from bean to bar – were treated fairly.  Will Hershey take this opportunity to be more transparent about your supply chain and do more to protect worker rights?
