- Indeed!
-
- This whole mess reminds me of an article I read about two companies in
- Eastern PA. Company X had setup shop in a small town. The plant was the
- town's livelyhood. Company X decided to pull out. A new company, company Y,
- who is a competitor of X, decided to purchase the old plant. They offer jobs
- to most of X's employees that X had layed-off.
-
- Just as Y is about to open the plant, X contents that none of their former
- employee can work for Y, since they would be using proprietary information
- while working for Y.
-
- X has filed suit against Y and serveral of their former employees.
-
- X and Y are cheese manufactures. I beleive X==Kraft.
-
- This was in WSJ and AP had a few stories about it awhile ago.
-
- It is a shame companies can be so petty over such things when all poeple want
- to do is make a living...
