You are forgetting that there's a management team behind this company's activities ~ and union or not they'd be going out of business anyway ~ because they, too, like the baker's union folks, are stupid.

Basically the 1950's model baked goods producers and marketers are all going under ~ unless they change.

“You are forgetting that there’s a management team behind this company’s activities ~ and union or not they’d be going out of business anyway...”

I don’t think ANYONE can do what-ifs in these types of cases. We have plenty of poorly managed companies here in Texas, but they a HUGE BOOST by having a flexible, non-angry, workforce, that wants them to succeed - rather than wanting to stick it to them.

But even if you’re right, these workers will have still kept their jobs for a while, maybe long enough to outlast Obama. But the UNION prevented any of that.

...and if it was really a misunderstanding, I have NO DOUBT that the union will show up in bankruptcy court and agree to the terms of Hostess, thereby preventing liquidation.

No doubt. After all, they certainly can’t be happy with the outcome (so far).
