"I really can't afford to not be working, but this is not worth it. I'd rather go work somewhere else or draw unemployment," said Johnson, a worker at Hostess for 23 years.

“Ratify the contract, then go find a job with better pay and benefits while still working. Oops too late for that.”

Too late? That’s for sure, but it was a novel idea while it lasted. I don’t think the unions and this regime are interested in the “concept” of individual freedom anymore. That’s yesterday’s news. You don’t do as they say and you are forced out of business and maybe out of life. They’ve got the act of intimidation and coercion down so well that “the people” see it as thoughtfulness and goodwill.
