SIGN THE PETITION! http://www.change.org/petitions/us-st...

Hershey's has passed the buck and pointed fingers while J-1 students who escaped exploitation at the Hershey's packing plant are standing up for their own dignity, and for American workers.

They recorded this appeal to Hershey's CEO John Bilbrey to make sure he knows what they're asking for. Please share it with 10 friends to make sure Mr. Bilbrey gets the message.

You can also contact John Bilbrey at tel. 717.534.4200, fax 717.531.6161, jbilbrey (at) hersheys.com. Tell him you want dignity for student workers and living wage jobs for local workers.

Post on facebook.com/Hersheys and tell them the same.

Join the students at guestworkeralliance.org, @NGAdignity, and #JusticeatHersheys

    It's a cultural exchange program. Cultural. Exchange. It isn't about whether the students making as little as other people, it's about the fact that Hersheys is gaining super cheap manual labor and thousands of dollars from college students by calling it a cultural exchange program when it's really exploitative captive labor, and now they refuse to acknowledge that. If Hershey didn't "break any rules," then their rules need some serious revision.

    I am not letting my daughters buy Hershey chocolate. There are many other chocolate companies. Shame on you! Shame on you! If you need work done , hire American workers, and pay them a livable wage. Shame, shame, shame. Pay back the students their initial money, and at least triple what they paid for what you did to them. It is time for fairness to reign. And it will.

    John Bilbrey is my uncle. At the end of the day, he just buys the beans. No one supports child labor.

    Uh.. Name one (candy) company that DOESN'T thrive off of cheap labor AND that you eat?....

    Ouch...sorry, and don't say you make your own because that sugar/flour you use...you get the idea.

    Isolationism breeds ignorance.

    Wrong again. Wages and inflation have routinely swapped, most unsurprisingly in this huge recession. And you're laughable - being 'poor' here is middle class everywhere else, yet still we complain? Can the cheap Colbert routine, 'poor' people do not have Xboxes and plasma TVs. Our 'poor' are pampered people milking a system because of people like you who think no matter how far we spend ourselves into oblivion, it's NEVER ENOUGH. The war on poverty exacerbated poverty.

    not false, actually. Wages have not kept up with inflation. As for our poor class, it IS America, which is why so many poor people from OTHER nations come HERE to be poor. Because poverty here is middle class elsewhere. A TV costs 300 bucks tops, and an xbox is 200 bucks. Don't act like these are grand luxuries that are hard to get. Next thing you're gonna tell me ''poor people even have FRIDGES in America; FRIDGES!''.And will you stop with the fucking name calling? Grow up.

    The hilarious part is that all those problems you list (except for the 'longer hours less pay' thing, which is provably false) are the result of attempts to socially engineer a Utopia. Educational inflation? Because we decided 'everyone should go to college'. Job security? You realize how many federal rules and requirements there are to have an employee? We have among the highest corp taxes in the world, and our 'poor class' has TVs and Xboxes. Hippie crybabies ruin everything.
