I doubt that really is an “exhaustive list” especially for outfits that only market locally, like supermarket bakeries. Sites like monster.com may also have more.
Still, that’s definitely a smaller number than you’ll see on similar national boards for things like computer programmers and engineers.
“Paying the workforce is certainly a part of doing business. Paying ransom isn’t.”
I just read that Hostess wouldn’t have any trouble selling their brands. So somebody seems to believe there’s a profit to be made. Free market.
I’ll agree with you on that when it comes to the baker union idiots.
The others that agreed to cuts or crossed the line to keep the company going should IMO get unemployment.
till he finds out from the welfare office he qualifies for Medicaid and food stamps.
Then there seems to be no problem here at all. If a profit isn’t being made under the current circumstances you find a way to change that. Free enterprise.
I think your right. I stopped buying their products when the cost of a pack of twinkies hit 3 bucks.
Get rid of the union overhead and I’d bet it’ll be about half that for a pack.
I've deleted so many "friends" from Face Book since the election. I can't deal with the crap any more.
I really gotta get me some of that shit.
“I think your right. I stopped buying their products when the cost of a pack of twinkies hit 3 bucks.

I don’t eat them because they taste like hell lol.
Good luck finding a new job you idiots.
Who needs a job when you can get unemployment, section 8, healthcare, tuition, foodstamps and an Obamaphone... all for FREE.
Hmmmmmm...how so true, how so very true...
“Then there seems to be no problem here at all. If a profit isn’t being made under the current circumstances you find a way to change that. Free enterprise.”
Right. Somebody else will take it over. The other snack cake companies seem to be doing fine.
Maybe Hostess was just poorly run.
There’s a supermarket here in New England called Shaws that is slowly going out of business because of union overhead. They have these big, beautiful stores, and they are all empty cause their prices are crazy.
Bless your heart Honey Child between my old job and my new one I took a 30% cut in hourly pay and a 40% cut in hours.
When you have done that get back to me about how a 8% is "not going to work for you."
The funny part is that this guy still has a job. And a darn well paying one too.

What’s taking their place.
look for the union label, then don't buy it...
SuperWalmart, SuperTarget, Market Basket & Whole Foods seems to be everywhere as of late.

I don’t know Market Basket. Wholefoods is expensive.
Not according to Glenn Beck
Market Basket is the best of the whole lot of them. They are in MA, NH & RI. Great prices. Just as cheap as SuperWalmart.
