    While I wish it was easy to condemn Unilever for this, I get it. They have a lot of employees in russia and shuttering operations would have a decidedly negative effect on those people, and it’s not like they can prohibit their employees from taking legally required actions.

      Then why not say every rouble made in Russia will go to humanitarian aid? I’ll tell you why; it’s because they are still making money by being in Russia. It’s corporate greed through and through. These fuckers make no sacrifice until it hurts their bottom line.

        Agreed, but the alternative is not much better. Unilever dips, Russia probably tries to take over their properties and make it a state owned venture.

      It’s not about prohibition, no one wants to be drafted and people are hiding from it, it’s about sharing employees details and location with military recruiters.

        Genuine question: where in the article is it mentioned that Unilever is sharing those details? I don’t doubt that they are, but I don’t see that here.

        By no means am I defending Unilever here-I consider myself very anti corporate and I don’t think any company should exist that is the size of Unilever, but the real world is less black and white.

      “Shuttering operations would have a decidedly negative effect on those people”

      Yeah, that’s why they’re still operating there. It’s for the good of the employees.
