So? There are plenty of people who would fill those jobs in a heart beat. Get rid of the union and restructure it.

That's not a bad idea at all...but there's a catch.Not long ago,Verizon workers (Verizon's the landline phone company in parts of the Northeast) went on strike demanding more of everything (naturally).During the strike their "workers" sabotaged phone lines,switching stations,etc causing enormous problems for customers.

As I said earlier,the unions would rather see Hostess go down rather than give an inch.If "scabs" are brought in count on union sabotage.

I remember when scabs were protected by L.E. during strikes. Of course, now that most L.E. are Union, those days are gone.
