“Strike threat at Hostess could kill off Twinkies”

So now the union is going after little gay guys ?

[Drill Thrawl]

But both management and the unions agree that the company is unlikely to survive a strike.

Proving once again the stupidity of unions. They deserve to die.

[Gay State Conservative]

Those Maoist unions would rather see Hostess go down rather than give up a single dime.

[Rockiette]

So? There are plenty of people who would fill those jobs in a heart beat. Get rid of the union and restructure it. Look what Reagan did to Air Traffic Controllers? We need more standing up to the thugs in the unions.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Twinkie the Kid is going to have to get another job!

[albie]

Nothing can “kill off” Twinkies.

This is a great demonstration of the predatory behavior of unions, forget that this is Hostess and never mind the jokes about Twinkies, etc., unions today would indeed rather see the businesses their members are working in FAIL, rather than to compromise one single iota. The union philosophy can be summed up perfectly as "eff you, eff management, eff ANYbody who doesn't agree with us, as long as WE GET OURS."

There may still be legitimate need for the existence of unions so far as work place safety is concerned, but that pretty much is the limit so far as their usefulness is concerned.

"There's a box of Twinkies in that grocery store. Not just any box of Twinkies, the last box of Twinkies that anyone will enjoy in the whole universe. Believe it or not, Twinkies have an expiration date. Some day very soon, Life's little Twinkie gauge is gonna go... empty. "

NO TWINKIES ! ! !

There goes the “Twinkie defense”.

Killer queers are going to vewwy vexed.

[JRandomFreeper]

This is a gastronomic catastrophe of the first order. The culinary world will be shaken to the very roots.

Or not.

But I don't see a union win coming out of this, because if they win, they lose.

Union workers putting themselves out of jobs and blaming Bush, somewhere along the line.

[count-your-change]

Without Twinkies what will happen to the famous Twinkies and Bud Breakfast? Scary stuff here!

[Cailleach]

Best Buy can shrivel up and die...but this pregnant lady with cravings needs Twinkies! LOL

[dforest]

Messin’ with my Twinkies really makes me mad. I likes my Twinkies with strawberries and whipped cream.

Unions suck and I hope they pay for this.

[Fido969]

Hey, union, let’s take a struggling company and kill it off. Brilliant.

Stock Up Now!

They say with all the preservatives...twinkies will stay fresh for a thousand years.

[The Electrician]

Not to worry.

Some enterprising company will import Chinese-made, PCB-flavored “Trinkies”, and consumers everywhere will be happy again.

Anything I buy now days is checked for a Union Label. If its Union, it isn’t purchased by me if I can help it. Screw the Democrat Unions.
