Taking Off the Ritz

"Putting on the Ritz" has long been a saying that connotes wealth.  Yet when a major company attempts to downsize salaries and benefits, wealth becomes a distant dream for its workers.

The parent company of Ritz Crackers, Mondelez, is reportedly trying to do just that.  Union members are therefore on strike, not to “secure huge gains,” but to simply retain what they have.

This doesn’t seem too much to ask, especially for those who also keep us well stocked with Oreos.
