Seven U.S. State Treasurers Urge Unilever to Reverse Ben and Jerry's West Bank Boycott
(Algemeiner) Shiryn Ghermezian - State treasurers from Arizona, Idaho, Oklahoma, Nebraska, West Virginia, Louisiana and Mississippi wrote to Unilever CEO Alan Jope on Thursday, asking why the company has not yet acted to override Ben and Jerry's boycott of Israeli territories. They included a statement arguing that "A review by legal experts of the acquisition agreement indicates that the Ben and Jerry's Board has exceeded its contractual powers and that Unilever thus has the right to reverse the Board's decision."
