“Wage cut” probably means they won’t be getting their annual 7% increase.

A few percentage points cut and you have a job, Vs... 100% pay cut and no job.

Fine. You can have half a Twinkie, or nothing.
And I hope the 13,000 non-bakers-union people, if Hostess has to liquidate, remember EXACTLY WHOSE FAULT IT IS that their jobs are gone.

Glad to see that they are doing what Reagan did. If you don’t stop striking then you are going to lose your job...and I thought Reagan’s beliefs were gone...good to see them still around.

"Our members are on strike because they have had enough," bakers' union president Frank Hurt said in a statement Tuesday. "They are not willing to take draconian wage and benefit cuts on top of the significant concessions they made in 2004 and give up their pension so that the Wall Street vulture capitalists in control of this company can walk away with millions of dollars." Some people are really stuck on stupid.
Good thing the members have had enough because now they can go somewhere else.

Well the Union can be as unwilling as they want to be, but end of the day they can go back to work and have a job, or they can enjoy not having a job and know they personally got nearly 3 extra people fired for every one of them to hold on to their unwillingness.

The driver here is QE, TARP, et al. The FIRE economy is a disaster. Historically recessions/depressions saw sharp drops in wages, but also sharp drops in prices including housing, energy and food.
So far all the policies out of Bush/Obama have been pro-FIRE. If the market had allowed failure, supported by a reassuring government who would allow banks to fail, but backstop the failures (i.e. not create zombie banks), Real Estate prices would have fallen to match the needed drop in wages and overall costs.
Instead we have an interest policy and a banking policy meant to sustain RE pricing and thus zombie banks, combined with a monetary policy that is driving up costs coupled with a federal policy that increases the cost of food, energy and everything.
This is what a Planned Economy looks like. Central planning never works because it is political. All the hungry friends, donors and voters need to be fed. You cannot do it all.

The union did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday, but has called the concessions demanded in the new contract "outrageous." Then start lining up for your welfare check, losers.

These selfish (union) fools deserve the nation’s contempt if Hostess closes.
