Does Firestone Liberia provide food for its workers?
Firestone Liberia’s employees can purchase rice from the company at subsidized prices, which provide a significant savings to the employee. Each employee can purchase a 100-pound bag of rice per month for $10 USD. They can then purchase a second bag of rice for $15 USD. In Monrovia, for example, the same 100-pound bag of rice may sell for as much as $30 USD. Since many Firestone workers support extended families, the opportunity to buy additional rice at subsidized prices is a great benefit of working at Firestone.
