and They do it again

My take on unions is that they have overstayed their welcome. I know it's a touchy subject for union members to deal with but it's the truth. In the 1920s when laborers were getting paid pennies and working in unsafe conditions was the norm, unions were there to protect them, and rightfully so. Now we have LABOR LAWS and unions are no longer needed.

I don't think the Twinkie brand is going to go away but I do think they will be made without union labor.

I'm a fat kid and I love me some twinkies! They were saying on the news last night people are making bank with twinkies on eBay right now!

The recipes are for sale. Little Debbie is the front runner to buy them.

It doesnt happen often but I have to agree with W on this. The point is that 18500 people lost their jobs including the union workers. I work with union employees everyday and in most cases they ask for to much. I realize that unions are trying to look out for the best interest of their members but with margins being so low with the current state of the economy most companies just cant meet the demands. So then the union goes on strike and this happens.

Your 100% correct , Unions are a thing of the past. Union workers are not making more money these days than Non Union

You pay a Union for what???? Protect your job ?

Unions kill thousands of jobs a month
