Fair Lawn Mayor Kurt Peluso says five manufacturing companies have reached out looking to
hire after hundreds of workers who are facing unemployment due to the
Nabisco plant
closing.
The decision to close the factory came
from Nabisco's parent company Mondelez International.
The mayor says he's still not happy, and
that the town was working to keep the plant going.
"I am not going to be
eating any Oreos or anything from Nabisco anytime soon,” says Mayor Peluso. “I think
the way in which they handled this was extremely inappropriate, just absolutely
disgusting, and we will definitely continue to publicize those companies
working with us to get these employees hired."
The mayor says
he's thankful to the companies who offered jobs to the workers.
