But union leaders greeted the news with dismay. "The ink is barely dry on the takeover and a promise made to the Cadbury workers has been broken," said Jennie Formby, Unite national officer for food and drink, who fears more job cuts across Cadbury's UK workforce. "Promises were made to the Somerdale workers, which, it seems, Kraft had no intention of fulfilling, and which appear now to have been a cynical attempt to curry favour with the British public during what was an extremely unwelcome and unpopular takeover," Formby added. Roger Carr, who is stepping down as Cadbury chairman following the Kraft takeover, has also called on the government to urgently rethink its policy on takeovers by foreign firms. Speaking in Oxford last night, he said it was not acceptable to simply wait until another hostile bidder emerges.
