Turns out the relentless flow of globalization is causing more jobs to get shipped down to Mexico.
Boycott Peppermint Patties, 5th Avenue, Zagnut and Jolly Ranchers.
Production of York Peppermint Patties and other candy brands is coming to an end at The Hershey Co. plant in Reading.
After 23 years in Reading, the chocolate maker is closing the plant Friday and moving production to a new factory it has built in Monterey, Mexico. Hershey (nyse: HSY - news - people ) says it will mean the loss of about 260 jobs in the southeastern Pennsylvania city.
The plant also makes 5th Avenue and Zagnut candy bars and Jolly Rancher hard candies.
