This is a great demonstration of the predatory behavior of unions, forget that this is Hostess and never mind the jokes about Twinkies, etc., unions today would indeed rather see the businesses their members are working in FAIL, rather than to compromise one single iota. The union philosophy can be summed up perfectly as "eff you, eff management, eff ANYbody who doesn't agree with us, as long as WE GET OURS."

There may still be legitimate need for the existence of unions so far as work place safety is concerned, but that pretty much is the limit so far as their usefulness is concerned.

The union killed off Stella D’Oro, my favorite bakery. It was in the Bronx, just across the river from Manhattan, next to the el tracks of the #1, and the smell was heavenly.

Most of the workers didn’t even want to be in the union, but I guess that doesn’t matter.
