Kraft Officials Meet with Largest British Union

Members of Kraft Foods met with Britain's largest trade union today. They discussed the Northfield-based company's attempts to purchase the candy-maker Cadbury.
The union called Unite has some two million members in Britain. And they're looking for guarantees Kraft wouldn't transfer jobs out of that country if the suburban Chicago-based company buys out Cadbury.
A spokesperson for Unite says Kraft repeated its claims it wants to keep producing Cadbury chocolate in Bristol, England. Kraft bid $16.4 billion for Cadbury earlier this month. The chairman of the British candy maker says the bid doesn't come remotely close to what he is looking for.
A Kraft spokesman says its meeting with Unite was a chance for the company to explain why their offer would be good for British jobs and manufacturing.
