Un-freaking-believable. The unions had a chance to salvage this thing, and save 18,500 jobs, and they chose to ‘stick it to the man’ anyway?

Good lord.....they’re incurable.

Twikies will be back, but these 18,500 workers won’t.

Yeah, because it's not like anyone else is harmed by Hostess going out of business.

Equipment, management, and distribution system goes to Mexico...union keeps foaming in U.S.

Feast on the shiite, unions. That's the only cream filled center you will get.

Yeah, they are sticking it to “the man” - you and me.

They get to collect 79 weeks of “unemployment” pay for doing nothing. After that, they get their section-8 stipend, EBT cards, and 0bamao phones.

Life is good.

MICHELLE OBAMA KILLED 'HOSTESS'

Let's lay blame where blame is due. Michelle killed Hostess long ago with her nanny state control over school lunch boxes and chidren's lemonade stands. It's all about obliterating those little things in life we enjoy.

The murder of Iconic American companies by the 0bama's, using UNIONS as their foot soldiers for CHANGE.

Good. I hope the corporate structure of Hostess is able to resume operations in less hostile climates. Few things are as loathesome as labor unions that think private business exists solely for their exploitation. spit

check out this factoid in the article:

Doug Mansky, a Hostess driver in Detroit and a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, was in the process of moving to a cheaper condominium on Tuesday, after his union had agreed to an 8% pay cut that he said would shave $200 a week from his income.

If you do the math, the driver is making around $125,000 a year. wonder why they went broke? hm.....

The Communists/labor unions are making their move.

Ubama is going to give them card-check, and the NLRB is going to force all employers to turn over the names and addresses of all their employees to the unions.

With these two tools, they can forge the signatures of employees and unionize and company without the consent of the employer or employees.

And their fist target is going to be Walmart and the billions of dollars of union dues they will be able to extort.

The Black Friday Walmart walkouts are being orchestrated straight out of the White Hut. You can take that to the bank.

I heard one of the union "demands" was that their drivers should ONLY carry one product on their delivery route. They wanted another driver to deliver a different product. They did NOT care if the deliveries went to the same area. Seems they were interested in more jobs than job savings. I am not sure which union this was.

Sounds like the real Ding Dongs were not the sweet products sold in stores.
