Hillary Clinton Statement on Chobani Founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya Offering Employees Ownership Stake

Following news that Chobani founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya would be giving his 2,000 employees an ownership stake in the company, Hillary Clinton issued the following statement:

"When Hamdi Ulukaya founded Chobani in upstate New York more than a decade ago, he knew that to build a strong company, he needed a strong workforce. That’s why from the beginning, he paid his employees salaries above minimum wage and offered health and retirement benefits, and hired hundreds of refugees who came to America, as he did, looking for a brighter future.  And he got results, building a happy, loyal, productive workforce—along with a company worth billions. Today, he took things one step further, giving his employees a stake in the ongoing growth and prosperity of the company. These are New York values at their best—and it’s the way business should work, with both executives and employees able to enjoy the rewards of their hard work and dedication.  We need to encourage more companies to see their workers as assets to be invested in, not costs to be cut. That’s why I’ve proposed a new tax credit to encourage more companies to share profits with the employees who make those profits possible in the first place."
