Doesn't seem fair now that pot is legal in WA.lol. Great point. Of course now the unemployed workers can stay home fire up some ganja all day and go buy the Ding Dongs and Twinkies from the store with their unemployment check. HAHAHAHA!!
They are going to be jonesen from those sugary treats. They'll have no choice but to buy when they do a munchy run.

Organized labor doesnt understand that when business does well, labor does well. And when business is crippled, labor goes hungry. Its basic, folks!True dat paglia444! As is also the case of over half the population that voted last week in the presidential election. We can thank both educational and media brainwashing for that distortion of reality.

Tell me again why unions are necessary?
Seems like having a frickin JOB would be more important than having NO job.
Enjoy unemployment union assholes, while your bosses sit their fat asses on the yachts that you paid for with your dues all these years!

Gee. Wonder why a company could not make a profit even though they have to pay the union goons $48,000/year to stand around and watch the machines make, bake, wrap, and box Twinkies?
I know, they must overpay the officers and shareholders!

Maybe there were some past frictions with the company that they feel they have to exact revenge for now. But cheese whiz, this is suicide.

Yep, they can quite easily sell or lease the rights to the name, to a completely non-union bakery that is competent enough to execute the formula for Twinkies, etc.

Exactly! Include on top of their yearly salaries—to stand around—the goons’ pensions and healthcare costs.

Yet with all those job losses the next employment figures will barely show a “tick” one way or the other. I’m sure unexpexted if it goes up.

Unions have a knack for striking their workers out of a job. Way to go, unions!

On 29 June 1934, members of the United Textile Workers went on strike against the Tubize Chatillon Corporation’s rayon/artificial silk factory in Hopewell, Virginia after the company fired 440 workers for union activity. They also took part in a nationwide textile workers’ strike that began in September, but the strike failed to achieve the union’s goal of a thirty-hour week and minimum wages. In fact the Belgium company closed the whole plant and moved to South America.
