Twinkie lovers may want to stock up on their golden Hostess treats. This time it is not the food police who are threatening the yummy cakes. ABC News says teamsters are making strike threats to Hostess, which is in an operational bankruptcy at the moment. If there is a union strike, production of Twinkies will cease

Union Twinkies probably wouldn’t even survive a nuclear blast.
Striking while the company is in bankruptcy?
No problem. Shut the doors and move on.
Oops. No job. Oh well go to the union for a check...........
MMMM Nothing like a nice twinkie dog!! LOL
Weird Al “Twinkie Dog”

Twinkie bacon cheeseburger.
Two deep fried twinkies and a Guiness stout.
Life is good.
I enJOYED rotting my teeth out with the crap I ate back then.
Was that a warning of a strike?
If the company goes Chapter 7 the Twinkie name, trademark and recipe will just be sold off to some other company to satisfy the debts. And I’d be willing to bet a non-union company will buy them.
Unions sure know how to shoot themselves in both feet and in the a*s at the same time.
They should all lose their jobs. Give them to the unemployed. Screw unions everywhere. I’m sick of all of these leftist thugs. The rest of us working stiffs should go on strike. Liberals everywhere deserve to go bankrupt.
Remember Eastern Airlines?
Screw ‘em all. Make your own.
Twinkie Recipe
Yellow Cake Mix
4 eggs
1.5 cup milk
Banana Pudding mix (not instant)
-Grease and flour 2 15”x10.5” cookie sheets. Half of batter into each one. Bake 10 to 15 miinutes at 350 degrees.
Filling: 0.5 cup milk, 3 tbsp flour: mix on stove until thick. Cool unitl warm. Add 1 cup sugar, 0.5 cup crisco shortening, 0.5 cup butter (recipe states margarine but I don’t use it), 1 tbs banana extract. Blend 5 minutes.
Spread filling on one cake, add second cake to the top. Cut into individual servings.
Exactly ! All the other Union crap I can be civil about, but take my Twinkies hostage and it’s lynching time !
For those that fear twinkie withdrawal, some self-help.

They would rather be out of work than help their employer survive.
The strike is salvation
The union will be locked out and new workers hired at an affordable rate and pension and benefits retored at a more reasonable level.
When the violence starts, Teamsters will begin to die
Let them (The Union) eat cake!!
Hostess has 39 bakeries throughout the United States, so it would be a good idea to use its Chapter 11 to have production only in Right to Work states.
If they couldn’t do that in a straightforward manner, then Hostess’ owners could set up a parallel company, take Hostess into Chapter 7 (liquidation), sell off its useful assets to the new company, along with its patents, copyrights and trademarks.
The new company would need to re-brand the Hostess name and the names of their products, but otherwise they would be back in business without debt, and no nasty union contracts.
****If there is a union strike, production of Twinkies will cease***
Hopefully there will be one less twinkie in the WH after November.
Remember Eastern Airlines?
Also the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad. The Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks decided to show The Rock that they meant business... in the aftermath, any really important RI assets were snapped up in the subsequent "fire sale," the marginal branches were either abandoned or left to small outfits with low labor costs, and there were a lot of EX-railway clerks who found out that taking the company's scalp didn't put much food on the table.
