“It wont be long before another company buys the brand names and the ingredients for these products and keeps producing them ... probably with non-union labor in a right to work state”
Yep, I suspect the only reason Hostess has multiple Bakeries across the country is because Wonder Bread is perishable and needs to be made near the Market it is sold. Twinkies, Ding Dongs and those Coconut spongy things have a much longer self life and could be made in just a couple bakeries. Someone will come along and scoop up the rights to the name and recipes and probably just drop the Wonder Bread line while setting up shop in Right to Work States.

I’m sure the Obama Administration would love to own this company on behalf of the unions. Might make Michelle less than pleased, but after all Twinkies surely must be too big to fail?

A good friend of mine turned from a rabid Dem to a Republican over the Cat mess in York...he got to see firsthand how his precious union messed over their members and ended up losing everything.

Apparently the Baker’s Union is claiming that in the Hostess reorganization the Teamsters Union got the better deal. The Teamsters aren’t honoring the strike by the Bakers who could probably care less if the company survives.

“Wage cut” probably means they won’t be getting their annual 7% increase.

Dumb union workers don’t realize that Moochelle will be dancing in the streets if there are no more twinkies to fatten up the masses. Of course, she’ll probably fly around the world in her private, tax-payer funded jet to stock pile twinkies for herself.

gubmint Pension Guaranty Corp (taxpayers) will bail them out, won’t they?

They would get an 8% pay cut, but would get half of it back over 3-4 years.

“The workers are stupid people.”
For the most part you are probably right. But I bet there are a good many who know they’re comitting economic suicide but the union and peer pressure is just too much.

A few percentage points cut and you have a job, Vs... 100% pay cut and no job.

Just more of the wonders of union management for you. Rather comical really.
