“Wanna bet David B. Durkee lives in a half million dollar mansion and has a paid driver and vacations on Martha’s Vinyard?”

A half a million dollar house is hardly a mansion. The median where I live is $625,000.00.
.
I am sure Hostess would welcome back the employees -—as long as they drop their membership in the unions that destroyed their predecesser.
Getting bit by a rattlesnake does not mean they should hire that rattlesnake again.
The Union is threatening to rape this company before it even gets started.
Oh Well Golly Jeez BooBooBoo to you too! I don’t live in those UPSCALE states.
I’m just a po boy, pig farmer from the backwash of PA and live in da Burgh, half million dollar house here IS a mansion.
Just messing with you.
But, you ARE correct, in many cities 500K ain’t doodly.
And I’ll bet ol Davy Boy’s house is just right up there with the Jones’s and the Rockefeller’s and the Pelosie’s.
And dumb screw union workers will hammer the company owner who may not live as rich as their union thug boss.
You get the point.
Public employee unions are even far worse because the customers are forced taxpayers and management is bought and paid politicians
“You get the point.”
—
I certainly do.
For what it’s worth we bought a 3 BR house in 1960 in the same town and paid $12,000.00,which is less than I paid for my last compact car.

Thanks for the support!
Dollars to donuts (or sugary snack cakes), quite a few former union members will be applying as non-union. Such is the case with forced union membership operations - people join only because they have to in order to get the job. Otherwise, they'd likely have avoided union membership.
I worked in a closed-shop union outfit for 11 years. Never really liked the union or what they stood for, but I tolerated it in order to collect a reasonable paycheck.
He has two house from what I have found. Don’t know what they look like though.
J. T. quote: “When I’m not tweeting about America’s unions... I’m on my knees, sucking up to them.”
I just don’t understand. What compassionate company would balk at paying a truck-driver $135,000 a year in salary and benefits?
They are where they are because of these union fools - why would they want to hire them back?

Durkee and his wife, Sharon, maintain a home in both Evansville and in Olney, Md
When they are available again, I may just have to start buying a package a week, though I would have to give them to the local food pantry, since I need to start limiting my sweet intake. I’d do this to help the company keep going and continue to be free . . .
Let’s see...if I could hire non-union workers instead of union workers...doesn’t seem like a very difficult decision.
Guess they shouldn't have threatened a strike. Sort of throws "dedication" right out the window.
Maybe they can eat some Twinkies - it might make them feel better to have a little comfort food.
so 3 of the 5 are in right to work states...they should move the Ill plant and forget about the Los Angeles plant altogether....or perhaps move the equipment to NV or AZ.
LOL right you are.
