Mondelēz International, Inc. is an American multinational confectionery, food, and beverage company based in Illinois which employs about 83,000 people around the world. It consists of the global snack and food brands of the former Kraft Foods Inc. after the October 2012 spin-off of its North American grocery operations.
The Mondelez name, adopted in 2012, was suggested by Kraft Foods employees and is derived from the Latin word mundus (“world”) and delez, a fanciful modification of the word “delicious”.The company, headquartered in the Chicago suburb of Deerfield, Illinois, manufactures chocolate, cookies, gum, confectionery, and powdered beverages.
Mondelez International’s portfolio includes several billion-dollar brands such as Belvita, Chips Ahoy!, Nabisco, Oreo, Ritz, TUC, Triscuit, LU, Club Social, Barni, and Peek Freans; Milka, Terry’s, Côte d’Or, Toblerone, Cadbury, Freia, Marabou, Fry’s, Lacta, Trident, Dentyne, Chiclets, Halls, Stride and Tang.
We will resolve any disputes relating to this letter by arbitration governed by the Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The arbitration proceedings will take place in Deerfield and the sole arbitrator will apply the law applicable to contracts made and fully performed in Illinois. The prevailing party will be awarded its attorneys’ fees and arbitration expenses. Both parties waive, and the arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive damages. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the award made by the arbitrator. -Gerhard Pleuhs Employee Agreement (2016)
