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.
