When the “brothers and sisters” of the bakers Union go hungry, loose their houses or cars, etc. I will not feel sorry for them. I will feel sorry for the rest of the company, including the Teamsters who voted to save the company and their jobs.

I had posted on other threads that my oldest son had worked for Hostess for 17 years. He told me tonight that it has been 20. Hard to keep track when you get old.
Anyway, you are right about the Teamsters being angry about this idiotic move by the bakers union. Last night my son and co-workers were ready to get out the bats and start swinging.
The drivers did take an 8% cut in wages just to keep their jobs while the low I.Q. bakers not only refused to take a cut, but also wanted a raise. He never wanted to join a union, but after serving in the Air Force he needed to support his ever-growing family (4 kids) and got on at Hostess.
I hear people here saying that they “hope they starve”. It is unfortunate that these people are spouting off without knowing the facts. Yes, that’s directed at you, TexasRepublic. While I do agree with you about the bakers, I strongly disagree that the route-drivers should lose their homes and have their kids go hungry.
Thanks, matt04 for your support of those who wanted to continue working.....panax
