RE :”And that’s that: Hostess Brands, maker of Twinkies, Wonder Bread and more, announced this morning it has filed a motion with bankruptcy court to start liquidating the company immediately. A huge number of jobs are soon to be lost.
“Hostess Brands will move promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce,” said CEO Gregory F. Rayburn in the statement, “and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders.”

Showcase example for Republicans. The union rejected the court's bankruptcy decision to let Hostess cut salaries to save the plant and the union went on strike to close their own plant and kill all their own jobs.

They chose welfare and food stamps over jobs.

I can see it now: "Remember those little cakes with the cream in the middle? You know, Twinkies? Who could forget Twinkies! They were pretty good but the pies were the real treat! Man, I remember the nice glaze on one of those apple pies and how good it was when I was a kid! You know they're gone now don't you? The terrible economy in Obama's first term drove them to bankruptcy. But they were still going, digging their way out. They had to make some adjustments, cut some costs, streamline and they asked the employees to help, take a little less. Just 'til they got back on their feet. And for a while it was working, they were keeping their 18,000 people employed and still making those great pies. But the bakers were greedy, they decided they didn't want to sacrifice at all. They wanted the whole pie, so to speak. So they called a strike. They shut the company down for weeks. And that was the end, they had to shut their doors for good. All 18,000 employees were let go. Not just the bakers either, that was just 5,000 of them. The other 13,000 were truck drivers and the sales people and the accountants and mechanics and single moms who supported their families by wrapping those delicious pies. Not to mention everyone who sold ingredients to them too, they suffer now too. I wonder how many of them will have to let people go now too? All because one union decided it would rather destroy the company than work with them. Sure wish I could have one of those pies again."

If only Bain Capital had rescued them. Oh wait, Bain are the bad guys. Forgot.
