Hope the union brothers treat their hack leader to a little brotherly justice

[cherokee1]

It’s been a long time since a union boss turned up dead but this bunch has done so much damage that some of these newly out-of-work guys just might not have their usual sense of humor.

A mystery wrapped in a twinkie.

You can bet your sweet *** I’m never going to make any more smart*** remarks about Bimbo bread in the future. Sheeeee- IT! My good luck, Brad Keselowski, #2 Miller Lite Dodge T-shirt is full of holes now. LOL!

[GeronL]

Most of those facilities and workers will not be needed, no matter who buys it.

BIMBO already has bread, all they need to do is slap “Wonder bread” on it.

You mean the union numbnutz ACTUALLY believed they would get jobz with a new company that will buy Hostess?

[RedwM]

Your union boss got his and he got yours too. He was a greedy corporatist capitalist bastard all along. He’s probably got another job already.

[Alissa]

At this rate there won’t be too many of us tax payers. Pray for our nation is all I can say.

The guys I am sorry for are the non-union workers (a majority) that the brotherHOODS screwed over.

As for the union thugs let them eat bark.

I have seen unions reject machinery that made the work place safer. Who cares if an average of 6 of their members per year end up with crush injuries? Not the union! It was the "evil management" who wanted to protect the guys doing a more dangerous then it had to be job.

I have seen them sabotage their own product not because of a labor dispute but from sheer nastiness.

I have seen them come in drunk or high repeatedly and be sent off to rehab at company expense also repeatedly.

Unions are protection rackets and should be shut down.

So the Baker's Union puts Teamsters out of work?? In the 'olden days' that wouldn't be a very healthy thing to do.

And not that I'm insinuating anything but this Baker's Union President better stay away from Pizza Ovens. He might trip and have his head fall right into one. (just sayin')

[stonehouse01]

Unfortunately I just randomly read on a blog somewhere that the twitterers are blaming the greedy capitalist businesses for the shutdown of Hostess - nothing gets through to these communists. I am truly anxious about how absolutely brainwashed most of the people in this country have become.

[Post Toasties]

A number of pro union types in the article's comment section were whining that Hostess wage cuts were intolerable. Unfortunately for them, one of them revealed the true state of their wages by admitting that he was making $125,000/year delivering Twinkies.

This shows that a lot of union types will mislead and lie as readily as they'll breathe and that almost all of them are no less selfish than the executive management they complain about.

[kindred]

The unions are composed of greedy,arrogant, self serving, foolish democrats who care little for God or man and have trusted in the government to supply their needs. Brazen and godless and hateful of their fellow mans needs, they have destroyed themselves and even if the obamanation picks up the tag, the whole government will eventually crash.
Socialism is a hateful and hate filled disease of the heart and mind that brings war and famine and death to all people.
When Christ Jesus comes to defend Israel and set up His Kingdom of Heaven on the earth, all socialism will be destroyed and the King will be our government on the earth. This coming period is known in Scripture as the Kingdom of Heaven.

FROM 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. After Judge Drain cleared Hostess to impose the same new labor terms on the bakers union, they went on strike.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

If $200 per week were shaved off his income, he was making $2500 per week = $130,000 per year. Most people will have little sympathy for him.

I have even heard a few morons stating there is no judge in bankruptcy court only a trustee. news to all the nation’s bankruptcy judges.

Also in Chapter 11, the debtor in posession, IS the trustee.

This is a chapter 7 and thus has a court appointed trustee.

This makes me thing the owners as “going galt”.
