Original Title shortened because too long for Free Republic standards.
Piss off a liberal. Eat a Twinkie.

Any takeover of existing Hostess facilities and employment of former Hostess workers would appear to be optional under the arrangement outlined.
If they can establish a non union operation, they might be able to make it. Hostess products are a nutritionist’s worst nightmare, but they have a niche in the market.
I wonder how many ex-bakers union employees will be applying for a job with the company under new ownership?
If the new HR department manager is smart, he/she will be ready with a big red “REJECTED” stamp.
“If they can establish a non union operation, they might be able to make it. Hostess products are a nutritionist’s worst nightmare, but they have a niche in the market.”
If I were driving this boat I would open shop in Mexico and ship product into the U.S.
Good point. If I were the new owners, any previous union employees would never get a first interview.
Hostess was my favorite brand of snack cakes. It looks like they might be on the market again some day.
I think Hannity should hand them out to all his liberal guests for a week after they come back on line.
I assume since they bought the brands, the equipment, and 5 of the bakeries that they have no obligation to the old unions.
It’s the bakeries that worry me. If they set up shop in those old towns, then the job pool will all be pro-union.
I’d strip the equipment and move elsewhere to a right-to-work state. Then I’d sell the building shell.
Does this mean my Devil Dogs will be back?
I’m wondering if they are being forced to take the union employees. A little while back, the union head was on an interview and threatened to have the big unions boycott the brands if they didn’t get their jobs.
I don’t care for unions, but I still bought my favorites: HoHo’s, DingDongs, Zingers.
I imagine unions can decide they don’t like Hostess, but people who like their product will still buy, and especially if they’re cheaper due to right-to-work labor.
As I said, I’d strip the 5 factories of equipment and move the equipment to a right to work state.
Yep, and then flush it down with a Coke and really piss off Mika. A twofer!!!
It wasn’t the Coke or the size thereof that p’d off Mika,
it was the idea that a leftist elitist had his dictates thwarted.
Good luck with running a successful boycott with the support of unemployed former union employees of Hostess. If the union thug even has to make such a treat, it is probably a good sign it ain't going to happen, at least not on any large scale.
For every one they get to join the boycott, I'm betting they get ten former customers back for Twinkies alone.
Make sure it is at least a 20 oz. Coke.
my fave is the Ding Dongs!
great news!
I’m looking forward to Drake’s cakes returning at some point. I really like their little fruit pies.
