Members of the RWDSU staged a protest on May 13, 2010, against Mr. Larry Young, President and CEO of the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group during his address at the the Goldman Sachs Consumer Products Symposium. The RWDSU has been trying to reach a fair contract for their members working at the Mott's manufacturing plant outside of Rochester, NY for months. Mott's is a subsidiary of the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group. To date, Motts executives have offered only hurtful cuts to wages, pensions and healthcare benefits as well as givebacks despite the fact that the company remains very profitable.
I love the quote at 1:10 "lets stop being greedy". First off it is by a union organizer who has NO stake in the out come of this issue. Win or lose he will just move on to his next talking head assignment. Secondly, all Motts is doing is aligning these peoples pay and benefits with the rest of the company...... So tell me again who's being greedy?

I am glad to see this video. My father works at the Williamson, NY plant. He works with alot of good people. Most I have met during the 11 years my dad has given Dr Pepper/Snapple. Most of them are getting by.. the new contract is a slap in the face to the employees and thier families.
