The AFL-CIO has officially endorsed its nationwide consumer boycott of Nabisco snack products made in Mexico. The “Check the Label” campaign was launched to stop Nabisco/Mondelez from continuing to outsource jobs, by urging American consumers to reject Mexican-made Nabisco products and, instead, buy those that are produced in American in support of middle-class American jobs. The International President of BCTGM (Baker, Confectionery, Tobacco workers and Grain Millers), the Union that represents Nabisco workers stated that they shared a profound dismay that Nabisco/Mondelez is asking American workers to give up 60% of their wages and benefits or have their jobs shipped to Mexico. The AFL-CIO’s backing sends the strongest signal yet that American workers and consumers will not stand idly by while Americans lose their jobs. Most immediately, we believe that the endorsement lends substantial and sustainable support to our “Check the Label” campaign, aimed at supporting American jobs by ensuring consumers favorite Nabisco products are produced in America before purchasing. BCTGM launched the “Check the Label” campaign after Nabisco/Mondelez closed numerous U.S. production facilities, costing hundreds of American jobs, while at the same time expanding production in its facilities in Monterey and Salinas, Mexico, where pay is so low that the minimum wage is measured by the day, not the hour. The boycott will apply to all Mondelez International snack food products that are labeled “Made in Mexico” including Oreos, Newtons, Chips Ahoy, Honey Grahams, Animal Crackers, Ritz Crackers, Premium, Belvita, Lorna Doone, Teddy Grahams, Honey Maid and Wheat Thins.
