The hell with ding dongs. What am I going to do for my damn twinkies?

An old ironworker told me one time, "I've been doing this for 40 years, and never made anybody any money."

Ebay ... Collector items

I saw this this morning and was waiting to see a thread on here. I am freaking tired of people's "business and rich people are evil" crap! They give you a job and a means to support your family. What else do you want them to give you?! My boss probably makes 4 times what I do, but he worked to get to the top. He deserves it!! When I see him everyday, I don't scream at him to give me more, I thank him for what he as already given me.

Why not make a few concessions, keep your job, and let the company become financially sound again. I promise when they would get back on the right path, they would recognize what their employees did for them and pay it forward.

Good luck trying to find a job with 18,000 more unemployed people. And not to mention the fact that your name would be associated with the Union that killed an American icon.

Union = Salty Cajun Taboo.............
Unions gonna close the thread..............

This!!!^^^^ What many 99%'s and, sometimes unions fail to realize is that when their day is done on the job, they go home and don't worry about P&L statements, whether or not the business ins premiums spike or, if the light bill will get paid. Most owners take a huge risk by becoming an owner...It's called everything they own! I think, for sticking your neck out there on the line, you should be rewarded more than the guy who comes in at 8am already asking if it's close enough to 5pm to knock off. Business owners aren't evil. They support a lot of people...Until people get greedy. In short, if I can't make money operating my business, what's the point of mortgaging everything I own on it?

Union is nothing more than unorginzed work.... Greedy

Don't like boss or pay.. Strike !!

Now you have 18k out of a job and 100% unions falut

truth hurts !!! But can't hide facts

Well said.

But but but Obama promised to save the unions...

read into this a little hostess didn't exactly run the business very well...not backing unions here but some blames goes to management.

Anyone else watch Zombie Land? The end is near, double tap and check the back seat gentlemen.

Well Said Southern....you speak from experience.

In 2008 when the stock market crashed our company did not give us our yearly raise because they did not know how bad the recession would be. Everybody understood the situation and nobody had problems with it (we are non-union). Since the recovery of the economy and the fall out of natural gas prices, our company is making record quarterly profits and we never got that yearly raise we missed.......

Twinkie Bailout!!!

you did not build that twinkie

with the legalization of mary jane...hostess was poised for a stellar increase in units sold!!!

I guess the union is not going to start harvesting the marry jane!

LMAO ...

Westlake?

People don't realize that the rich have to make money for u to make money.
Rich making money=normal people making money
Rich not making money=normal people definately not making money

Lmao

I think the snack food companies had a hand in getting "mean green" legal..... It's only a matter of time until its sold like beer, cigars & dip.

Noooooooo! Big business would never be greedy!

Yup!

Looks like Moochelle Obama was behind this high calorie diabolical coup.

Hostess said a strike by members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union that began last week had crippled its ability to produce and deliver products at several facilities, and it had no choice but to give up its effort to emerge intact from bankruptcy court.

Mad??? Just making a suggestion to you... Obvious you don't fully understand what has happen to hostess... And you have ZERO knowledge of these unions you try and insult... You are a funny little fellow

Are American Unions Increasing Poverty Rates?

American unions are a major cause of unemployment in the U.S. and they have greatly increased the number of children and families living in poverty by stunting the U.S economy.
In the Concise Encyclopedia of Economics, President Obama’s own former economic advisor Lawrence H. Summers said, “Another cause of long-term unemployment is unionization. High union wages that exceed the competitive market rate are likely to cause job losses in the unionized sector of the economy.”
There are reasons other than relatively inflated union workers’ wages and benefits causing an undeniable increase of outsourcing and overseas placement of production facilities from this country – for example high taxes and government overregulation. However, the AFL–CIO, national trade union center, the largest federation of unions in the United States, and other large unions, are major culprits.
While American steel companies, automobile production and other traditional industries continue to downsize and increasingly outsource production of components, unionized Green companies like Solyndra are failing within months of receiving massive, low-interest loans from the federal government that amount to taxpayer-funded union slush funds. Solyndra was touted as a successful Green company by President Obama months before the company went belly-up and left taxpayers to pay the company’s half-billion-dollar government-backed loan. Solyndra claimed it could not compete with foreign companies but where the government money went is the subject of an ongoing FBI investigation.
In the U.S., unionized workers are on average paid much higher wages than non-union workers and generally receive superior benefits and pensions. The result of such artificial wage inflation through union negotiations, strikes, political campaign donations and sick-outs is that American companies lose the ability to compete with foreign companies. The relentless phenomenon of economically downsizing America is no longer a 600-pound gorilla that voters can simply ignore. American companies are moving entire operations overseas and outsourcing jobs to foreign companies leaving more and more union workers and non-union employees standing in the unemployment line or permanently unemployed. Many recent polls indicate that Americans’ patience and empathy for union strikes and protests are wearing thin.
States like California are choosing Chinese companies to supply major U.S. infrastructure because unionized American companies can’t compete. For example, over $6 billion of a $7.2 billion contract to rebuild the Oakland –to-San Francisco bridge was awarded to the Chinese because unionized American companies could not successfully compete. The massive steel work for the bridge was built and assembled in China and shipped to California on Chinese vessels while American unionized companies sat on their hands. Americans were relegated to assembling and paving the complex new bridge.
If unions remain strong, expand and continue to demand inflated wages and benefits for union bosses and their workers, an ever-more globalized economy will continue shrinking the share of jobs available to unionized workers and other Americans.
The results will include permanently higher unemployment, soaring government deficits, double-dip recessions and further increases in American poverty rates. The situation will surely become more severe for the U.S. and most of Europe as more developing nations offering the same products for less enter a global economy in mass.
Unionization is the 600-pound gorilla in the unemployment line and it doesn’t discriminate between union workers, non-union workers or small businesses.

I have 100% knowledge of it....... Unions killed 18,500 jobs

read my above ^^^^^
