...just reading the comments on that article is like a “who’s who in Moron-Land”...

That's the part that stood out the most to me.

18,500 employees, 33 plants, 12 unions, 40 pension plans, half of 'em multi employer orphan plans, more than 380 individual union contracts, 11 of those unions refuse to strike or honor the Baker's walkout or picket lines, a previous chapter 11 buyout/bailout to save jobs, and the NLRB.

The "free market" had nothing to do with it (free market wasn't in operation here), Hostess was murdered by a few Bakers union boss thugs, and an unknown number of Bakers union rank an file members.

And I wonder what those now-former Hostess bakers will be doing for a living a year or two from now. I can just imagine what those resumes will look like when the career Hostess line workers try to parlay all that “experience and expertise” from 20 or 30 years pushing “Ho Hos” into cardboard boxes. They'll probably be outraged to find out that their qualifications after three decades at Hostess put them last in line for a door-greeter job at WalMart.
