The Union Bosses really dont give a damn about the workers. They have their fat paychecks and retirement plans to fall back on.They will move on to some new racket in some new place in the union hierarchy and live life as usual.
Sounds like the "Reverends" Jackson and Sharpton.

Technically, I think there are union laws that prevent any selling of a company that is just changing ownership to get rid of a union. The acquiring company will likely just acquire the recipes, trademarks, and some of the equipment, and start producing the hostess brands in existing bakeries in right-to-work states. There will be no simple "change of ownership".

Technology has been increasing at an EXPONENTIAL rate. So our incomes, job opportunities, living standards, economy, business opportunities, etc should have also been increasing but they have not been but are in decline. This is all because Obama and it's socialism and government regulations are hurting the economy and we are not where we should and could be which is much better off.

Apparently not popular enough to stay in business. They were doing something wrong. Apparently, they were trying to operate a business with a 27% Union labor force. In the 0bamanation, one cannot successfully do that.

Dumb asses.
Their negotiators didn’t know how dire the straits were and how tight this deal was?
Enjoy your multiple bankruptcies yerself.

The union members should be the FIRST to be laid off.
And those idiots will probably consider it ‘early retirement’.

And the union has a chance to buy the factory and run it in a way that, to them, is right!Like they did with Eastern Airlines?

There is nothing wrong with a private sector union in a non monopoly not too big to fail situation.
They got too greedy and the company failed. No big deal.
the capitalist system worked the way it is supposed to.
The problem is unions in the public sector which have a monopoly, unions in the private sector with a monopoly and unions in too big to fail companies like GM.

Ah I see, i guess it’s a done deal now, sad, i guess i will hit up the hostess bread store after work to pick up bread and a few pies

Simple solution.
The government will not allow it to go bankrupt.
They’ll buy it out, like Government Motors and make it hundreds of times less productive and the quality will go down the toilet, and the union workers will be overpaid and keep their jobs with shorter hours and more benefits.
