Cadbury’s Workers Protest In Bournville
That there would be a reaction was to be expected. The takeover of an institution like Cadbury obviously set off some strong protests from its workers, especially since many of them had been around in the company for many years and can’t bear to think of the company being taken over by the giant American corporation.
The village green at Bournville was filled with the protesters and it was evident that there was a sense of uneasiness at what the future might hold and what changes would be made in the company. There was also a sense of frustration and anger that the company started by George Cadbury and standing for chocolate for so long should belong to another company.
