After nearly 50 years, Greenfield says he cannot ‘in good conscience’ continue; Unilever has previously rejected similar claims by Ben & Jerry’s social mission board
I wasn’t a big fan of their politics when I was young.
I always thought that they were just ice cream makers, stfu.
Now that I am older, I have a deep appreciation for what they did and tried to do. They weren’t afraid to speak out and their voice made me aware of issues that were not really in my sight.
They sold to Unilever and so it was only a matter of time.
I agree with others though. It could have been employee owned but they wanted that big payout. This was the cost of that.
Quits comma accusing, not quits accusing.
Sells company to a big evil corporation. Complains when corporation does evil things.
…despite an agreement protecting its social mission when it was taken over in 2000.
Can anyone explain why isn’t this a contract violation?
Because they’re okay with paying a lot to either enull it or get them to drop it.
Just like broadcomm doing to VMware customers
Because we live in capitalist dictatorships where your access to justice and the rule of law is proportional to your wealth.
