WSJ ^ | November 16, 2012, | RACHEL FEINTZEIG

[radar101]

Reminds me of a song by Bobby Bare--"The Winner" SO, the Union WINS. They sought by extortion to make Hostess pay more than they could afford. And Union people wonder why companies relocate to Mexico, Vietnam, Brazil, and so on

[Safrguns]

And what says the MSM during all of this?

(sound of crickets)

[SparkyBass]

HOORAY, WE WON!, Ummmm, wait..."

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

:: Hostess ultimately was brought to its knees by a national strike ::

WSJ (indignantly): “What do you mean we are biased toward unions?”

[molson209]

How long before Obama gets involved ?

[illiac]

Yup, the union winds....and the union members who has jobs are now unemployed....gotta love the employees greed....

[Doogle]

"...you took my TWINKIEEEEESS"

“Union Man” by The Cate Brothers

Well, it’s six a.m.
I’m out on the job
Working like a fool
For my pay

A big man walks by
With a smile
Says you got to go
On strike today

Hey, hey, Mr. union man
How am I gonna pay my dues
Or the landlord or the doctor
How am I getting new shoes

Well, I know I need
To help to get that raise
There’s one thing I don’t like

Tell me how can I
Feed my hungry family
I you say I’m going on strike
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/cate_brothers/union_man.html ]
Hey, hey, Mr. union man
How am I gonna pay my dues
Owe more money than I can pay
Looks like I’m bound to lose

Well, I don’t see how
I’m going to get ahead
Seem like there ain’t no way

Well, said don’t worry
Cause I understand
Won’t you try to
See things my way

Hey, hey, Mr. union man
Thank you for the helping hand
Hey, hey, Mr. union man
So glad you understand

Chief Executive Gregory Rayburn

I 'wonder' if he is a relative of Sam Rayburn, Democrat, longtime Speaker of the US House of Representatives who was also from Texas?................

[TurboZamboni]

Obamanomics:better to take a 100% pay cut than an 8% pay cut

[be-baw]

and the union members who has jobs are now unemployed....

Unemployed and eligible for 99+ weeks of unemployment checks.

[RJS1950]

Morons! You killed your golden goose, or at least you followed your union lead to kill it. Nice job you idiots and now you have no jobs. Is the union going to make up for those lost wages each week? Is the union going to buy you all Christmas? Good luck with that.

[sheana]

And now we can’t even depend on Twinkies during the Zombie Apocalypse. ;(

[all the best]

Absolutely right. Without a government check to look forward to they might have actually thought a job was a good thing to hold on to.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Reminds me of when BAMA Pie quit making their small cookie sized pies years ago. There was shock among the working men that they could not get a pecan pie from the machine anymore.

Wonder if LITTLE DEBBIE’s directors are meeting on how to take over the HOSTESS market niche.

[Hessian]

I, for one, am hoping Little Debbie digs deep and becomes Big Debbie.

[Abathar]

What horrible timing, two states vote to legalize marijuana and they throw in the towel now?

[itsLUCKY2B]

hey BO...you own this!!

[mylife]

Arghh!! They got me...

[Abathar]

Little Debbie is probably already in negotiations this morning to acquire the Hostess name and trademarks then move production to right-to-work states, pay a decent wage and get back to making a killing.

On the other hand I bet Moochele has a smile on her face and is skipping around the WH today...
