No offense to any union workers here but they would be idiots if they were to hire union workers. That’s how this whole thing began.

[Jack Hammer]

Mewling Marxists.

Boo hoo.

[poobear]

What did they think? Run them out of business twice? Morons! Idiots! But I digress.

[Gay State Conservative]

“Extremely disappointed”,I’ll wager,means that their members plan to engage in massive sabotage but have no immediate plans to commit murder or arson.

[GeronL]

This is great news. They would be stupid to hire the same idiots that shut down Hostess out of spite

[Sacajaweau]

Then they must be doing “the right thing”.

[Pollster1]

If, however, they do not want us as part of the future of this company, we will continue to fight for our membership through other avenues.

In other words, they forced the previous company out of business and they are going to try to force the new company to deal with them if the new owners won't do it voluntarily. It sounds like an arrangement that battered spouses know quite well. How could management refuse a relationship like that?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Maybe the new owners are capitalists who have figured out that unions are nothing but a campaign arm of the Communist DemocRAT Party.

"Hey! You no build that! Somebody else they build that!"

” . Those four successful cake plants “

No, you made them UNSUCCESSFUL.

[NewHampshireDuo]

My guess is that the learning curve for a snack cake worker (aka machine minder) is about 1 hour. The “skilled” union folks can shove it.

[dead]

Our members provide immense value to the new ownership with decades of experience, expertise and training. Not only have our members produced these quality products for consumers for generations, they know these bakeries inside and out. Our members are eager and willing to return to these snack plants and help usher in a new period of prosperity for Hostess snack cakes.

If your "decades of experience, expertise, and training" bring value to the position, you'll get paid well, within the range that the market will bear.

If not, you can break the legs of people who will do the work as well for less money.

Jackie Tortora

I'm the blog editor and social media manager at the AFL-CIO. Interviewing union musicians was my introduction to the labor movement. My first job after graduating college was in Syracuse, New York, where I wrote and edited the International Musician, the monthly magazine for the American Federation of Musicians (AFM). Protecting Social Security and Medicare from benefit cuts brought me to Washington, D.C., where I spent two years as a new media coordinator at the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. I came to the AFL-CIO in the summer of 2012, just in time to re-elect President Barack Obama. When I'm not tweeting about America's unions, it's likely I'm watching Syracuse basketball and football.

“It is our sincere hope that the new owners will fully recognize the tremendous value of hiring back our members. If, however, they do not want us as part of the future of this company, we will continue to fight for our membership through other avenues.”

Such as?
Political harassment?
Picket lines obstructing traffic?
Bombings?
Arson?
Harassment against employees?
Physical assaults on employees?
What else?

BCTGM 'Extremely Disappointed' by Reports Hostess Brands Buyer Will Not Hire Union Members

Why, so you could destroy this company too?

They won't hire you? GOOD, BITCHES.

SUFFER.

[deweyfrank]

Any bets on how long it will be before the NLRB, EPA, or some other Gov’t. agency puts a halt to this?

[Fzob]

It is our sincere hope that the new owners will fully recognize the tremendous value of hiring back our members. If, however, they do not want us as part of the future of this company, we will continue to fight for our membership through other avenues.

Anyone that has ever worked with unions knows the above is a not so subtle threat. There will be trouble.

Bakery, Confectionery, Torpedo Wankers and Goat Munchers(BCTGM) can KMA in Macy’s window. They rode a good company into the ground and now they are outta work. Good on them. Let em eat scab twinkles.
