    Looks like the primary disagreement is over pensions. As an American with absolutely no pension opportunities (but with older coworkers who have them): fight tooth and nail for every scrap. Once lost, they will be gone forever.

      This. The 401k is a scam, letting the wealthy profit off of investing hypothetical retirement savings and reduce labor compensation. I have one but whether it will actually matter and payout is a gamble.

    How is Nestle supposed to maxmize profits with pesky employees demanding benefits?

    The fact that the global governments haven’t forced a company that size of Nestle to unionize or disband, is insane to me and shows who our politicians actually serve. I think unionization should be mandatory when a company reaches a certain size and profitability.
