Same with strikes. Unions would go on strikes, sometimes for weeks or even months. I always thought that 1) what is the advantage of being out of work so long for an extra quarter or two? and 2) If you force the company out of business, doesn't that mean you lose ALL the nice union jobs?

Then someone explained it to me. It's not about jobs, or economics. It's about power.

Yep Hostess was driven out of business by the Union. Union rules said they could not have bread and cupcakes on the same delivery truck. They found a way to come back minus the Union.

I have no doubt that is true, but they still want all of us dead.
