Wow!! THAT were Hostess` offer and the union turned it down?? In THIS economy??

If average Americans would look at anything besides the interior of their own asses, they`d be stunned.

You have to look hard to find out any reporting on what “draconian” cuts the union claims the company was demanding

Here are a few clues to what the unions turned down. Mind these came from a company that was already in Banrkrupcty

Here is the 8% cut- only for one year. Then raises thereafter

Here is restructuring to put new hires under a 401K plan, which what nonunion and management get - and to reenter Teamster pension plans on a case-by-case basis

Also some changes to wasteful featherbedding work rules
