Take all the money and blame it on the uni

Ok this is roughly 4 million in raises . For a company the size of Hostess this in not a lot of money in the (overall picture) . And it is not what put them into bancrtrupcy . BUT it does SEEM as If they knew it were coming an greed took over . And let me say I have no issue with any size salary as long as the company is profitable and it is relative to job duties , and responsibility .

I have stayed out of this one till now.
I have worked both union and non union jobs in the plants just by changing hard hats. In 1976 i graduated H.S. and went to see my uncle who was a B.A. for local 198 about a job. he told me then ,I'll give you a job ,but don't get to comfortable. The unions in La. have just about priced themselves out of work. He was right?

Just write this down... Unions in La will be extinct by 2020

I've been working in the plants now for 12 years and I have never been unemployed or ever worked for the union. When I first started working in the plants I remember there was certain break rooms and maintenance shops we couldn't go in cause it was union areas. Those were the biggest damn babies in the world! They got everything they wanted and did half the work non union contractors did and made at least double the money! They used to take 12 hours to make one 3" weld when other guys were knocking out 8 to 10 a day. And look out if you got a cup of their coffe or a snack out of their machine. I am happy to say that over the last few years you are pretty much welcomed anywhere in the plants now. Everywhere we go now it's help yourself now. Peace out union!
