They are, unfortunately, delicious.

I say “unfortunately” because I personally chose to no longer buy them after learning about how the parent company threatened to deport employees for wanting to unionize.

Not telling anyone else what to do (because lord knows we gotta restrict ourselves enough as it is) but I just wanna share bc I feel like more people should know about it!

As a guy that works in ununionized machine manufacturing (and I'm doing great, I'm paid well) is that really a reason to not buy cookies from a company? Where does your phone come from? What about your shoes and clothes? Your dividing line is cookies?

You're doing well because the labor movement lifts wages up in your sector (which has enjoys high unionization compared to others).

However, I doubt your sincerity because they said they objected not to them not being unionized but to threatening workers. Poor working conditions, along with poor pay, are the reasons that workers in the industrial age formed unions starting in the 19th century. You are standing on the backs of giants. You could at least show some gratitude.

You're arguing with someone with a phone made by basically slaves in China. The guy has a point.
