The bakery union got multi billion dollar benefit from the TAA program

Seems like the union thugs got the last laugh..

Read it and weep.....


Maybe I missed something. According to the article the best these workers can expect is 75% of what they made, a 25% loss in pay. They turned down an 8% pay cut to get this.
If they were making $20 an hour with Hostess but can only find new employment for $10 the Government kicks in $5 for a total of $15 an hour. Taking the 8% would have cut their wages back to $18.40. How's this the last laugh?

Maybe not the last laugh, but a good laugh nonetheless on the taxpayers back.

-——How’s this the last laugh?-——

Did it occur to you the union leadership already had this deal done...as a backup plant when they went on strike....

TAA should not apply to this labor issue, but it somehow does....though executive power...

We as taxpayers are footing the bill for these union slugs ill gotten subsidy....
