The union knows Obama will save them like he did GM. I don’t expect the unions to back down.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Good post, Tucker — thanks. I love hearing success stories like that!

The shelf life of Twinky is like 20 years so store the inventory, fire the union and open shop in one year.

Snowballs are good, aren’t they?

Man! I remember coming home at lunchtime and eating them over 45 years ago!

[GeronL]

my dad loved them even after his teeth were gone. The marshmallow-coconut parts anyways

[rabidralph]

Fire them all. There’s no law that says they have to negotiate with unions. Hire real unemployed people and train them.

Hostess is too big to fail. The Govt needs to step in immediately.

Although liquidated twinkies sound delicious!

Twinkie smoothies....

I'm going to add a half-dozen packages of the orange cupcakes to my grocery purchases tomorrow.
I do love those nasty things.

This is too bad, Hostess was responsible for the capture of countless supervillains in the 70s.

Perhaps one of these concerns will successfully bid to adopt the Hostess line.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

No.

STOP SENDING JOBS OVERSEAS.

For crying out loud.

Looked like obvious sarcasm to me. Who would ever eat anything from Belize?

“Our members are on strike because they have had enough,”

They will be relieved then, that after tomorrow, there will be no more.Way to go union

[nomorelurker]

Off topic but the Marie Sharps (hot) sauce out of Belize is very good. I have nothing to do with the company and there is some green stuff out of Guatamala that might be better. Posted from Texas where we know about those things.

That’s Pop-n-Fresh in disguise. It’s Pilsbury that is behind this insanity

[Gay State Conservative]

That’s what Marxist unions do...if they can’t have their way their willing to take the thing down in flames.

[Figment]

The Goodyear workers in the aptly named “Union City” TN plant did likewise

Long live unions who will destroy a business to prove their power. Do the members want this to happen or only the union leaders?

It is probably only the union leaders.
