ATTN: West Midlands Region Newsdesks

LONDON, March 11, 2010 - Kraft is keeping Cadbury workers in the dark, Unite Deputy General
Secretary, Jack Dromey, will today (Friday 12th March) say at a Press
Conference outside of the Bournville plant in Birmingham, following a meeting
with Cadbury's workers. Mr Dromey will welcome the decision of the all-party
Business Select Committee to call Kraft Executives before them to give
evidence in public next Tuesday 16th March on their conduct during the GBP12
billion takeover of Cadbury. Mr Dromey will first give evidence on the same
day to the Select Committee before they call Kraft to account.

"Bournville was born out of the great philanthropic traditions of the
Cadbury family" Mr Dromey today said. "Sons and daughters have following
mothers and fathers into the factory as generations of Birmingham workers
have built Cadburys into a world-class centre of excellence. It is nothing
short of outrageous that Kraft should now keep Cadbury workers in the dark.
Our members know that Kraft Executives are there - they see them from afar.
But no one from the American multi-national is telling them what the future
holds."

"Kraft must give Bournville and Britain cast-iron guarantees for the
future. Investment will be key. So too will be a clear commitment that there
will be no factory closures or compulsory redundancies. Parliament and the
public will expect nothing less when Kraft appears before the Business Select
Committee next Tuesday."

"The immediate priority is cast-iron guarantees for the Cadbury workers.
We need a new Cadbury's Law, preventing hostile takeovers which are neither
in the public interests or the long-term interests of household-name British
companies. Cadbury workers deserve security for the future and then never
again should British workers be sold to the highest bidder."

Mr Dromey will be given a press briefing at 12 midday tomorrow, Friday,
outside of No 1 Lodge, Bournville Lane, Birmingham B30 2JT.
