Members of UNITE at UK Cadbury are joining forces with fellow workers in Egypt to challenge human rights violations by Cadbury’s parent company Mondelez International. On May 2-3 Unite hosted two sacked workers from the Alexandria Cadbury plant - Nasr Awad and Hussein Ahmad - who were among the 5 founding members of an independent union dismissed last year as part of the company’s drive to crush the union. 
Management at Kraft Foods Pakistan (formerly Cadbury, now Mondelez-owned) has moved to lock out union workers and attacked union leaders in retaliation for the union's defense of the rights of the factory's hundreds of contract workers. Mondelez makes Cadbury confectionery products in Pakistan with 53 permanent and over 350 contract workers, over 150 of whom are in 'core' manufacturing jobs.
During the World Social Forum in Tunis, the FGAT-UGTT organized a press conference on 27 March with the participation of Zied Nalufi, the union leader unfairly dismissed by SOTUBI management, members of the new union board at SOTUBI/Mondelez and the IUF.
Finding the Mondelez Screameggs this Easter is easier than ever - the abuses are difficult to conceal, the eggs are out in the open and there's a big basket filled with jumbo Screameggs!
