Hostess was a the same point that we are as a nation. Hostess took the easy way out years ago and agreed to union demands that eventually were not sustainable. The nation agreed to spend to levels impossible to fund and here we are today. Congress should learn from the Hostess situation and not back down. Go over the cliff if that’s what it takes.
The the “Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union”, aka The Big Leech, has sucked the life out of Hostess Brands, it’s Host. Now, the upper echelon of the Big Leech are still sitting pretty while their “brothers and sisters” now face winter and Christmas without work, having to support families on Unemployment provided buy a broke Government.
I wonder how many of them 18000 voted for Obama?
Congrats Leeches!!
Hopefully one of the other big baking companies will grab Hostess’ assets, or at least the brand and recipes. My Brother-in-law works for Bimbo (yeah, yeah, let it all out...), who would be a great umbrella for a revitalized Hostess, and the best part is they can probably put the production lines in their own existing plants.
The Union Bosses really don’t give a damn about the workers. They have their fat paychecks and retirement plans to fall back on.They will move on to some new racket in some new place in the union hierarchy and live life as usual. The workers will learn a lesson that they will never forget, but sadly some of them will continue to blame the company for their woes...............
I agree.
Note to all,
Remember that a Hostess’s Twinkie is not a stewardess’s beaver.
This is FANTASTIC news! Just think how all the new food stamps will stimulate the economy! I’m sure Nancy Pelosi couldn’t be more proud.

Probably ALL of them................
Pretty sad. There were also people in the confectioners’ union that crossed the picket line.....just not enough of them to keep operations running efficiently.
Never, ever forget: The leaders of any union see as their primary responsibility -- above all else including wages, jobs, worker health and safety, benefits ... everything else -- is the preservation of the union.
These idiots would rather kill the jobs of nearly 20,000 workers than show weakness as a union. They -- and the union members who elected them -- truly deserve the economic reality they are about to face. Hard-hearted - No; True - Yes!
There's a box of Twinkies in that grocery store. Not just any box of Twinkies, the last box of Twinkies that anyone will enjoy in the whole universe. Believe it or not, Twinkies have an expiration date. Some day very soon, Life's little Twinkie gauge is gonna go... empty.
Let the eat cup cakes!
Does Little Debbie make fruit pies?
That’s right. I had the same experience as yourself. I know you are right on the mark.
Good luck to you union B*st*r*ds. Try finding another job. You might call Obama and see if he needs 16,000 people to make twinkies at the White House.
At least this can happen in the private sector.
What about all of the government sector unions we have now?
With the government, Management and the Union are on the same side. There’s no bankrupting the tax payer (at least in their view), and management has no reason to oppose the union on anything.
As someone on the thread has observed, unions are thuggery. I can’t imagine anything worse than Government thugs.
Fear for the Republic!
To all of those affected by this closure who voted for nobama & his LIB minions who lost their jobs...Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
