Heh...the union was claiming that this was actually some kind of victory for its newly out-of-work members.

If you lose your $16/hr job and have a family of 4 in Obamaville, you’ll be better off sitting on your butt and collecting all of the $60K/yr goodies

That actually is quite telling. I'm posting this here but need to find the article with the exact statement. Basically, the union is sacrificing the Hostess employees — the whole company and its supply chain, in fact — as a warning to other companies about what can happen when you seek concessions. Let that sink in. This is part of a national strategy and the union leaders are not acting in the best interests of the local union membership, their dues-paying victims. My advice to the newly unemployed is to look up the Mongo quote "Mongo only pawn... in game of life." That and find a right-to-work lawyer who is willing to tilt at windmills. This could be hugh.
