Le Monde: Ben & Jerry's: 'The ice cream maker and its independent board, like mission-driven companies, are no longer in vogue'
Ben & Jerry's, owned by Unilever since 2000, is embroiled in ongoing disputes with its parent company, highlighted by the recent firing of CEO David Stever and a subsequent court complaint filed by its independent board. Tensions escalated after the ice cream brand's partial withdrawal from Israel in 2021.
Founded in 1978 by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, Ben & Jerry's has always emphasized a social mission, advocating for various causes. The founders secured an independent board to ensure ethical oversight after Unilever's acquisition, reflecting the company's commitment to corporate social responsibility.

GB News: Birmingham residents swarm bin lorry as waste piles up on streets in 'binmageddon'
Residents in Birmingham faced chaos as strikes by refuse collectors led to a desperate rush for a bin lorry amid uncollected rubbish. The situation escalated to the point where police were called to restore order, and two arrests were made related to the industrial action.
With nearly 400 council bin workers on indefinite strike over pay and job disputes, the accumulation of refuse has sparked serious public health concerns, including a significant rat infestation. The local council insists its restructuring plans are necessary for financial stability, while the union warns that disruptions may continue into the summer.
