This makes me furious. Why should the workers control this situation? If they don’t want to work for the company, if they don’t like the terms of employment, no problem. There are numerous others who would be thrilled to take those jobs. Unions are are thuggery.
The best part is that it’s about 5000 union workers who have ruined it for the remainder of Hostess’ 18,000 workers. You’d think the union goons might not realize the thing about the golden goose, but you’d also think that the rest of the employees would be screaming at the unionists to not do this.
Oh well. Hope they enjoy their unemployed Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Ding ding ding... Winner.
LOL!
Oh don’t worry. Others will. They will sell the brands to other companies who will then hire non-union bakers who will then make a better Twinkie for less with happier workers and more satisfied customers.
There are continuous ads running for Over The Road truck drivers & schools that teach such.
Maybe all those Hostess truck drivers will fill up some of those openings.
Most of those openings are NOT union, however. Many companies hire ‘owner-operator’ status only. If you are a driver who doesn’t own a truck, you can lease one of the company trucks.
