I love how the union president tries to blame it all on the hostess management. Yeah, try explaining that to the 18k employees who now have no job because of fucked up union nonsense. Fuck unions.

What I don't get is if most of the companies employees accepted the pay cut and thus did not support the strike and the ones that did strike were simple bakers, why not hire some temporary bakers during the strike? I don't think Hostess if it was doing as well as the owner's said it was doing wouldn't need to cut everyone's paycheck by 8% nor would it be so crippled by an easily replaceable workforce.

Honestly, I can't think of anyone I know personally who buys Hostess products regularly. They were a failing company and the union (which I looked into, and they are only 100,000 strong and span like 8 other industries so the likely hood of there being more than a couple hundred workers in that strike is unlikely) is being made out to be a scapegoat.

isnt this old news? all of the hostess stores and factories have been closing down in my area for at least the past year if not longer

No Tarathiel, this is the work of the unions. That is why the ever so prosperous company that is Hostess is going under.

Unions are communist organizations, and like communism they cause societal collapse.
