Woke Nabisco has thrown out decades of customer relationships,
all to kiss the asses of a 2% degenerate segment of the market.

The iconic Nabisco plant in Fair Lawn, famed for permeating a
portion of Route 208 with the smell of fresh-baked cookies, will
shut its doors for good.

Despite efforts from local officials and even Gov. Phil Murphy,
the well-known plant will close by the late summer, Fair Lawn
Mayor Kurt Peluso said on a Facebook Live.

“I just feel so horrible for these employees who are
experiencing this," Peluso said. "It just sucks that through no
fault of their own they’re losing their positions.”

Peluso estimated that 600 employees, many of them residents of
the borough, would lose their jobs as a result of the closure,
which he said would happen in late August or early September.

“We’re upset for Fair Lawn but I know we’re going to bounce
back," the mayor said.

The North American division of Nabisco's parent company,
Mondelez International, made waves in November when the prospect
of the plant closing caused many to worry, including Murphy.

"I just think [Mondelez] has handled this really poorly, I don't
know how else to put it," Murphy said on Friday. "I don't like
the fact that it's happening, I don't like the way it's being
done and the treatment of these folks who are going to lose
their jobs."

The decision was driven by geography, infrastructure and
manufacturing capabilities, according to Laurie Guzzinati, the
company's senior director of corporate and government affairs in
North America.

“Yesterday was a difficult day for employees to hear that. The
decision is not one that we take lightly,” Guzzinati said. "Many
of the employees have been with the company for several years
and the decision to close is not a reflection of their
contributions or their commitment to the business."

The plan for Fair Lawn is for production to ramp down in a
phased approach, Guzzinati said.

“We would expect that production at both sites will stop in the
summer,” she said, referring to Fair Lawn and Atlanta.

According to a statement made by Mondelez, salaried employees
will receive severance and other benefits, including
outplacement services and other transition support. Transition
support for hourly employees, including severance and other
benefits, will be negotiated with the labor unions that
represent them.

“We are committed to support employees through the transition,”
Guzzinati said,

Richard Nazzaro, president of the union representing the Fair
Lawn Nabisco employees, slammed the decision by Mondelez.

"I think this is despicable what they are doing to us and to
Atlanta," said Nazzaro, president of Local 719, the Bakery,
Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers' International
Union in Fair Lawn.

“What I’d like to say to Mondelez and its corporate folks over
there is that they have one heck of a nerve doing this to people
that have worked loyally all through the pandemic, every day
coming into work risking their health to provide cookies to the
American people and profits for their pocket,” Nazzaro said.

Nazzaro opined that the decision is nothing more than an
extension of Mondelez's plan it started in 2015 to shift work to
Mexico, — a plan that Local 719 has previously held rallies
against. This is a point that Guzzinati has previously refuted.

“[Employees] are devastated,” Nazzaro said. “They have no idea
what the future holds for them and their families."

Peluso said he was committed to keeping the property commercial,
saying he has been approached with propositions to redevelop the
area, to make it into a distribution center, or a studio to
produce films and TV shows.

“I know myself and I believe I speak for the whole governing
body when I say we’re not going to go residential," Peluso said.

Mondelez International makes classic cookies and crackers under
the Nabisco brand, including Oreos and Chips Ahoy, Nilla Wafers
and Ritz Crackers. The company also has its headquarters in East
Hanover.

The plant has become a landmark for the thousands of cars that
drive on Route 208 in the borough and Fair Lawn residents.

"Nabisco has always been a big part of Fair Lawn," Peluso said.
"Like everyone else I’m really disappointed to see it go.”
