IRVING, Texas — Hostess Brands Inc. is permanently closing three bakeries following a nationwide strike by its bakers union. The Texas-based maker of Twinkies and Ding Dongs says the strike has prevented it from producing and delivering products.

It said Monday that it will close bakeries in Seattle, St. Louis and Cincinnati that collectively employ 627 workers. The company has about 18,300 employees.

Just wait. I bet Pres. Obama’s Labor Relations Board intervenes and says that Hostess can’t shut the factories merely for a labor dispute. Refer to Boeing’s attempt to close a union shop in Seattle and transfer work to a new plant in South Carolina. Disallowing the plant closures would only be an evolved position from that.
I hope the Hostess owner goes Galt.

Dang it, that is funny. I had just cleaned my monitor - now it has a fresh spray of coffee, once again. Thanks, I needed a laugh!

Hey, if I owned something the unions were successfully killing, I would just shut it down as well and move on to the next thing.
LET THEM EAT CAKE!
Stop and think about what this means to the Unions....
Obama did say he wanted to do to other companies what he did to the auto industry, didn’t he?
Another ‘Employee owned’ business fullfils Obama’s promise to return the wealth to its rightful owners!
Little Debbie has inexpensive Fig Newtons and Pecan Rolls. They are healthy and good for snacks between meals.
Now, if they would mix them together, we could have a new, healthy item, Fig Rolls.
I love the puns and the punster(s).
Go ahead and call me an agitator.
I thought I'd read that somewhere and noticed the lack of their products in the stores I rarely enter.
Moose, caribou, buffalo, salmon, halibut, scallops, shrimp, king crab, ruffed grouse and trout are better tasting and healthier than store bought food.
It almost writes itself.. :)
Let the commie thug bastards eat cake.
obama will take care of them.
POST OF THE DAY! Love it! :)
But using flour, cornmeal, rice, oatmeal, yeast, sugar and salt, corn, green beans and/or tomatoes with bacon fat will always make anything edible, palatable!
Hint to the stupid: When home canning vegetables, it is extremely important to fill the sterilized jar to the brim, and ensure it is properly boil sealed.
Otherwise, it's just another 5th grade science experiment in growing deadly poisons...
“Destroy them. Union maggots will never find another job.
Starve the beast.”
Exactly. EVERY business owner across the LAND needs to stand up to these leeches.
Take away their jobs. Start your company up again under another name, while letting the Public know who you were/are.
NEVER allow another Union Thug on your property. Ever.
God. Bless America.
Hostess needs to reorganize under bankruptcy and get rid of the unions.
Shrug baby shrug.
