Ben & Jerry’s out her preaching the good word

I’ll happily skip my ass to target and get them 2 for $7 pints for sure now

The funny part is they’ve always been heavy activists. Read their other flavours. They did a Bernie sanders one (and they’re from Vermont no less so they def knew his policies). They had a marriage equality one. They have donated to relief funds and charities. Part of why they’re so expensive is they only use locally sourced organic product. Another part is, and this is well documented, they have a policy where the lowest salaried employee makes one fifth of the CEO’s hourly salary. And not only do they still make a great, international, actually American made and produced and packaged product, with one of the hardest things to cover in shipping in the entire repertoire of shippable products, they have had a net gain every year and have been in business. People have never boycotted them for any of their open policies- and I repeat, marriage equality got a limited run flavour. They are direct proof that this is how small businesses can become great ones and how American made can still be viable and how corporate greed and liberal policies are actually economic booms not financial losses.

It’s legit

BUT what are they doing about it within their company? Employment practices? Opportunities?

Actually, Ben & Jerry’s hiring practices and employee benefits are pretty damn stellar.

They also get their brownies from that one bakery that takes a waiting list for anyone who wants a job regardless of criminal records.

They have this rule that says that no employee can make something like 15% less than the CEOs so the starting wage is like 15 an hour.
