So...who won?

[bigbob]

I don’t know why everyone is pissing and moaning about this. The unions killed another company. They also left a void in the marketplace that is ripe for new companies to fill. It’s not like our appetite for bread and delicious creme-filled cupcakes with a tasty chocolate icing has diminished any!

Let’s go, people who know the baking industry! Get a business plan put together, talk to Hostess about buying their facility and re-opening it as “Patriot Pastries” or whatever your heart desires.

Creative destruction! Let’s get to work!

I grew up reading Aesop's fables and remember the one about killing the goose that laid golden eggs. This modernized version by Richard Cummings seems appropriate for this thread:

KILLING THE GOOSE

I don’t thinnk those union idiots could care less who or what they hurt. It was about liberal greed, nothing more.

YOU HAVE NOW SEEN THE PERSONIFICATION OF STUPID....AND SO SOON AFTER A DEMOCRAT VICTORY IN AN ELECTION........could it be a co-incidence??/I think not.

aint karma a b*tch?

Local union officials were not immediately available for comment.

Probably a group session with their shrink where the local president asks, "Do you think we pushed them too far???"

What makes this so sick is that Hostess asked the Union/Workers to take a cut, and OFFERED them in return 25 percent of the Company, and the Union said “no”.

I am going to guess a couple of the bakers might be putting a revolver in their mouths Christmas morning.

“loosing” WTF?

[Dr.Deth]

They are loosing their jobs because of the shut down.

Another journalism degree well-bought.
