A British private equity company has called in one of the leading US union-busters to stop workers at one of the country's best-known upmarket crisp producers, Kettle Chips, joining a trade union.
The California-based Burke Group has been engaged by Lion Capital, owners of Kettle Foods, to dissuade the 340 workers at their Norwich factory from joining Unite, the country's largest union.
Workers are balloting today on whether to join. Some 40% of the workers are migrants from eastern Europe.
Oh well, back to Golden Wonder ...

So you're going to try to confound the migrant workers misery by putting them out of a job?
Interesting strategy... ;)
