You’re right; these union workers really are stupid. The contract was “forced” on them not by management, but a bankruptcy judge. So the company is in bankruptcy...HELLO! Does the word BANKRUPTCY mean anything to you union morons? Last I checked it meant NO MORE MONEY. Hostess is broke.

I’ll bet the contract offers more than minimum wage, and bennies, too. After Hostess liquidates, we will see all sorts of sob stories from these “workers” whining about how they can only find minimum wage jobs without benefits. So it seems these fools have a company that’s offering them more than their skills are worth in the open labor market. A smart person jumps on that like a loose football in the end zone. A fool declines it.

These are the idiots who gave us 0bama. They have ruined our country. They will get what they want and deserve.

They will love those 28 hour a week jobs without benefits.

If there is no news on this today, does that mean Hostess is gone tomorrow?

One of the things that makes it impossible for me to listen to "Livin' on a Prayer" for more than about 10 seconds is that the reason Tommy and Gina are "down on their luck" is because "union been on strike," meaning Tommy refuses to work for what the shipyard is willing to pay him.
