This is giving me a giant plate of Schadenfreude...The dumbass union thugs take a hard line against the company, lose their jobs, only to see their brands re-emerge, with a new owner, no unions, and no jobs for them! Brilliant!

(In fairness, I think it was only one union that took it down. The other unions had agreed to concessions.)

That’s absolutely correct. The bakers union totally screwed the other union workers, as all the other unions had agreed to the necessary concessions. All except for the bakers who went on strike and destroyed the company and 15,000 jobs.

Of course, the plants, equipment and recipes were still all ready to go for the new owners, sans unions of course.
