you can call it Unaliver
that’s actually a good one lol
The entire executive suite should all be arrested for financing terrorist operations in Ukraine. Replace them with people who will cut operations with Russia!
Presumably if they somehow didn’t allow it, some higher ups in Russia might find themselves suicided.
Unilever has been under pressure to pull out of Russia, but says the situation is “not straightforward”.
Yes, what makes it complicated is that Hein Schumacher, CEO of Unilever, would get a smaller bonus if he didn’t support an attempted genocide. Just to repeat that for SEO purposes, Hein Schumacher and the board of Unilever support a genocide in Ukraine.
While I wish it was easy to condemn Unilever for this, I get it. They have a lot of employees in russia and shuttering operations would have a decidedly negative effect on those people, and it’s not like they can prohibit their employees from taking legally required actions.
Then why not say every rouble made in Russia will go to humanitarian aid? I’ll tell you why; it’s because they are still making money by being in Russia. It’s corporate greed through and through. These fuckers make no sacrifice until it hurts their bottom line.
Agreed, but the alternative is not much better. Unilever dips, Russia probably tries to take over their properties and make it a state owned venture.
What part of the last year and a half makes you think the Russian government is capable of taking over and smoothly running a business that pulls out.
“Probably tries”. Didn’t say succeed
Then destroy everything in an “accident” and then dip, since its “too costly to rebuild”
It’s not about prohibition, no one wants to be drafted and people are hiding from it, it’s about sharing employees details and location with military recruiters.
Genuine question: where in the article is it mentioned that Unilever is sharing those details? I don’t doubt that they are, but I don’t see that here.
By no means am I defending Unilever here-I consider myself very anti corporate and I don’t think any company should exist that is the size of Unilever, but the real world is less black and white.
Aren’t we on Reddit - I didn’t read the article :)
Idk about you but I’m on lemmy
“Shuttering operations would have a decidedly negative effect on those people”
Yeah, that’s why they’re still operating there. It’s for the good of the employees.
I wouldn’t be very happy if my employer decided to send me to war.
Zero chance there isn’t corporate greed involved-that’s why all mega corps like this exist. But if they dip, the Russian state would at least attempt to take over the Unilever properties and operate. That would be no better for the workers-possibly worse.
Yeah right.
