Ben & Jerry's alleges that its parent company Unilever unlawfully removed CEO David Stever in retaliation for the ice cream brand's social activism. In a federal court filing, Ben & Jerry’s claimed that this action violated their merger agreement, which requires consultation with the company’s advisory committee for CEO removal decisions. The tensions have roots in Ben & Jerry's political stances and previous legal issues regarding their stance on Israeli settlements and related social issues.
