Save Cadbury Community Action Group chairman Don Pryde said the factory was profitable for Mondelez International and the closure proposal did not make financial sense. Speakers include Cadbury worker Donna Bouma, Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull, Dunedin South MP Clare Curran and Green party co-leader Metiria Turei. "We are hoping for a massive turnout at the rally to show there is strong public support for those workers. "This is a community rally, but as a representative of these workers, we are also giving this our strong support," Muir said.
