Unions once again throw their members under the bus

Hostess will sell its assets and its recipies. Under another name you will still get Twinkies, but they will be made in China.

We'll see. There's a big line forming, waiting for Hostess' stuff to go on the auction block.

Unions representing Hostess Bakery workers were warned bu the company that a job action would result in the company shutting down and seeking to liquidate assets.
The unions refused to budge and decided the company owners were bluffing. Today, 18,500 workers lost their jobs and an American Icon was put out of business by greedy union bosses.

I think that's funny as shit, and they deserve it for being in a union.

A Little Debbies fruit pie for .75 or a Hostess one for 1.39 lets see....

Too late. You lost the choice for better product due to unions.

The better product is still available. The lousy one is gone. (Hostess pies are way too sweet.)

So are you required to be wrong about everything?

Unions did for Hostess what they did for Detroit and the US Auto industry

Lie.

It was the members of the union who voted not to accept the contract. Not the bosses.

Because the Hedge fund that runs Hostess lied to them the last six or seven concessions they made.

Got people good wages and safe working conditions?

Oh, the horror...

You miss the good old days, don't you?

Unions are needed now for the same reason they were needed then. Because the wealthy will always try to use their wealth to screw the working guy.

Every. Fucking. Time.

More accurately, the union bosses found the way of life of the men whom they battled so diligently against better to their liking and became as corrupt as the politicians with whom they joined forces to screw the workers they claimed to represent.

Most union presidents make mid six figures.

CEO's are making 7 and 8 figures. Even when their companies fail. The president of hostess made 2.25 million when his company went into bankruptcy- twice.

Not even a close comparison...

So not only are you ignorant, you're trolling.

 

[Politico]

This is the very same union we have at our company!!!! and they are WORTHLESS!

So you elect the people who run these unions and then bitch about the job they do.

That sounds like something I have seen before. Let me think. Oh yeah...what Americans do every four years.

Union Bosses get another American business scalp on their belts

I'm sorry, is Capitalism "working"?

I don't see it "working".

We are currently getting the pants beaten off of us by a communist country (China), so I don't think we have room to talk.
