:nanajig: YAAYYY!! That'll show those greedy bastages that run, erm, ran Hostess Bakeries. The union went on strike and refused to go back to work until Hostess met their demands ... and the cowards declared bankruptcy. VICTORY FOR THE UNION!!


Let these other mega-corporations beware. The unions are in control here. They'd better step in line or face union wrath .... which union members will have plenty of time to do now ... since they don't have jobs. :unsure:

Does that mean no more Hostess? If so the poor junk food junkies will have to eat Lil Debbies.

Couldn't care less myself. I've thought for a long time that Unions have Too much power and that many members that get in there DO NOT represent their members but just get fat off their dues w/o working for them. I'm quasi management and some of the things I've heard Union reps say about the people they are suppose to represent is awful. :eek

It would be nice if the companies and the employees worked together. If that happened there would be no need for a union. My father once worked for a company like that unfortunately once the founder died the company just got gobbled up by one multi-national after another now it sucks like most businesses.

Perhaps Obama can come in and save em !!...if willing to save car companies...why not intervene with hostess and the unions crushing them.
Wait...fuck that...as the UAW now own the majority of Chrysler and part of GM...WTF.....So Obama would be giving hostess to their Union.

Funny thing is once the UAW had ownership and interest...they lowered wages and benefits to the same level as other factory jobs....Fucking hypocrites.
Since we{union} own it we cant afford to pay union wages :24:

We have a branch off hostess in the state
They have been struggling for years.
The building is rather old.
The machines are old.
The trucks are old.
Nothing gets fixed or replaced.
Produce as long as you can with what you have is the policy.
The end was eminent...You can only lose money for so long.
I have been to the place in our state several times on business...They liked their jobs even with the problems they had.
To have went on strike would have been to shit on the boss...which everyone liked.
I suspect they are pissed at the areas that went on strike...and rightly so.
No one is holding a gun to ones head to work at a place..if they dont like it then go work elsewhere.

Odd that our dem muppets haven't chimed in. Maybe Minor's too busy eating his cracker to parrot the party line.

I find it interesting that people here are talking shit about unions. Especially Accountable - a fucking union GOVERNMENT teacher. You got yours so fuck everybody else right? When the last union is busted and your gleeful asses get your pay reduced because there is no one left to represent your arrogant asses, you'll be the first to piss and moan. Just because you are "management" or work for a non union company does not mean you have not benefited from unionization. Many companies have good pay and benefits to keep the unions out. When the last union is busted and your gleeful asses get your pay reduced because there is no one left to represent your arrogant asses, you'll be the first to piss and moan.

Americans are so fucking short sighted. Read some labor movement history and actually learn why unions came about in the first place. I know not a damned one of you will, so we are bound to repeat history.

I find it interesting [pointless drivel deleted]
Ever stop to think that ... sorry. Forgot who I was responding to.

"Union" and "unionize" are different words with extremely different meanings. If you want an example of short-term thinking, look to unions. If you want an example of status quo, look to unions. If you want the enemy of growth, innovation, or job creation, look to unions.

How's that union teachers job working for ya?

Seems somewhere along the way, you would have actually studied some labor history on your way to your second government paycheck. Why is it guys like you, with union negotiated benefits, socialized health care, vacation time, et al, begrudge others the very organizations that won those benefits for you?
