What does “let” mean in this context? Do they get a vote?
Shiti headline… yeah unilever is a trash company but they really have no choice here.
Should existed and they would avoid a shiti headline tho
So much for playing both sides lol

In case you want to avoid them.
Better way to peruse their owned brands. It’s a fuckload of stuff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unilever_brands
They own 7th Generation? Wow, that’s a bait and switch. https://www.unilever.com/brands/home-care/seventh-generation/ Vaseline was a surprise as well.
Wow, that’s weird. A huge brand library, yet apparently I only ever used just one brand from that list, Persil, and it’s not even operated primarily by them. Good to know :)
For me its fucking mayo, guess im getting Staters brand.
Avoiding Unilever in NL is unfortunately impossible. They make literally everything
Not Ben & Jerry’s :(
Ben & Jerry’s
LMFAO
Did they have have the option to not let them be conscripted?
They probably had the option to fire them if they did
Why is unilever still in Russia to begin with?
Money.

Wow, they had a choice and that’s what they’re choosing?
But you don’t understand! It’s not straightforward!
They totally care about the employees there. It’s definitely not about the profit they made that had them paying 33m in taxes to Russia last year.
I’m sure they offered to relocate the employees and not you know, just leave them working in the country to get conscripted.
Not on conscription. The only way to avoid it would be to stop operating in Russia entirely (which, being a giant corporation, they won’t).
With the absolute shitshow that the Ruble is I don’t see how staying in the country and doing business could be profitable.
With Wagner’s exile to Belarus, Unilever could be Putin’s next PMC if their employees do well enough on the battlefield. Maybe that’s where they think the real profit will start coming in /s
But Putin says 80 rubles are a dollar. You’ll have to take his word tho, trading them is impossible.
I worked at a couponing business for awhile and learned that Unilever, Procter & Gamble, and Colgate-Palmolive own almost everything on the shelves in US groceries and pharmacies.
Additional fun fact: idk what the arrangement is now, but my aunt worked at a Kelloggs (incidentally not owned by one of the three above afaik) factory in the 80’s and after filling the branded boxes they’d fill the store brand boxes with the same stuff. Very likely you’re still supporting some of these companies buying store brands.
I think it’s funny when people act like the store brands are way worse than name brand, as you said it usually comes from the exact same factory. It’s just a false sense of choice so stores can look like they’ve got options
Where did all the coupons go? I never see them anymore. I even checked the Sunday paper.
P&G recently stopped their print insert so you have to go online and unileaver only sends one out occasionally now. Keep an eye out for smartsource and Save (formerly red plum). Some weeks are skipped, there’s a schedule here.
Never had the patience for couponing myself, but the company I worked for (summer job) was one that would buy papers in bulk, clip and sort the coupons, and mail them to you for a per coupon fee. I just looked and the company is still up and running.
Thanks! Coupons really help in this economy. Surprised I haven’t seen more of them.
Absolutely! Potatoes are still up 300% compared to pre-pandemic at my grocery😭
You can also look at manufacturer websites for printable coupons along with taking advantage of coupons built into grocery store apps. I think a lot of them are moving digital.

As if they have a choice (other than pulling out of Russia completely of course).
The article does not say what they could do to prevent conscription, or if they can do anything in the first place.
Besides, them not pulling out is really not as consequential as it might seem. The Russian government has taken over many of the brands that have pulled out with the consequence that even more of the earnings of the factories in question go to the government. So, while I agree that them staying shows greed, it would not change shit if they left.
I am unaware of Russian laws. What if the people doesn’t want to fight for the army? Will they get punished?
Conscription is mandatory and punishment is prison sentence of up to 10 years.
Good lord. It would be fun to live in Russia. /s
Wait, you really have no idea what conscription is?
It was a sarcasm
“would”?
And US for profit shithole prison camps are 5 star hotels compared to Russian ones. Let’s just say that a good proportion of Russian prisoners have HIV. At the same time they don’t ask nicely when they forcefully pass it around.
The BBC is also letting Unilever’s Russian employees be conscripted.
Hell yeah dont see many people who know chumbawamba for anything other than that song on the radio.
I’m ashamed to say I was one of those people until I saw Danbert Nobacon perform live, which lead me to enjoy the real chumbawamba
