Unilever - not as clean as it claims

Unilever, one of the worlds most successful and profitable companies, is trying to change the existing workers' pension scheme to one that will see thousands of workers retire on a pension reduced by up to 40%. Workers have been fighting to save their pensions, they held the first ever national strike at Unilever in December and are continuing with further strikes accross the UK this week.

Excellent and very clever way of spreading the word of what Unilever is trying to do to us.

great video, consumers do not realise how immoral unilever has become under polman, less pension payouts = larger renummeration for polman.

Lord Leverhulme once said " there is no greater business than one governed by conscience" i hope your proud polman.

Lord Leverhulme's Ghosts: Colonial Exploitation In The Congo by Adam Hochschild and Jules Marchal: "Leverhulme set up a private kingdom reliant on the horrific Belgian system of forced labour, a program that reduced the population of Congo by half and accounted for more deaths than the Nazi holocaust." I guess that it is okay to wallow in the fine traditions of your capitalist enterprise if you choose to erase the murder of a few million black people?

Most people in the private sector need to get off their butts, join a union and fight for decent pension

Clever video. But. Most people in the private sector don't have pensions so while it is a bit upsetting, there are people worse off.

The only strikers I actually recall feeling sorry for.

This is tragic :(.
