Hostess announced plans to liquidate this morning. While many lives will be disrupted, the employees have done the right thing by rejecting the vulture capitalist's ultimatums. We have passed the point where we can trust capitalists to act in ways which will serve the American People. They have shown themselves to be unworthy of our trust. They have betrayed us. We should instead turn to the valiant Hostess workers for inspiration. By rejecting the outrageous terms dictated to them by the parasites who own Hostess, they have struck a blow for working Americans.
Interestingly enough, the Teamsters disagree with you...
The BCTGM (Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco and Grain Millers International Union) chose a different path, as is their prerogative...
Ultimately, of course, the actions of BCTGM may be proven to have been misdirected. Nevertheless, someone had to stand against the assault on workers by predatory capitalism. The battle had to begin somewhere. Maybe the next vulture capitalist who considers gutting a company will think twice before launching his attack.
