Workers protest Energizer’s plans to close Wisconsin plants

The closure would lead to hundreds of job losses in a community of just under 3,000 people in Fennimore

Workers and union leaders are calling for a boycott of Energizer - the battery maker famous for its Energizer bunny" adverts - over its plans to shut down plants in Wisconsin and move jobs offshore to Singapore, the UK, and a non-union plant in North Carolina.

Using the hashtag #BadBunny the Teamsters union called this week for a protest boycott. The name of their company is a joke. The only thing they are energizing' is another economy in another country," said Teamsters general president Sean O'Brien.
