You think the bosses care? They have millions in their bank accounts and thouseands more bakeries to shake down before they retire.
I consider this a a good micro example of a democratic economy. the leadership retains power and gets rich off the uneducated and ignorant masses they claim to represent.
I couldn’t care less about these idiots.
The old joke was that Twinkies could survive a nuclear war, yet, they couldn’t survive Obama Voters.
Future? Hell son, there’s an Obama ho in the White House now.
Makes perfect sense to me
It's tough to be popular enough to withstand an organization whose sole interest is taking as much as possible from the company from within, while giving as little as possible... even to the point of their own destruction. Even nature does not have such a vicious and insane parasite or parasitoid.
I'm a twinker
You're a twinker
She's a twinker
He's a twinker
Wouldn't you like to be a twinker too.
I haven’t had a twinkie in a decade, and won’t miss the things. I don’t appreciate that many of the people in my hometown are going to be out of work due to this event, however. We have a Merita bread factory in town that is owned and operated by Hostess.
Twink refers to a gay guy, many of whom linger around FR to make stupid vulgar jokes.
You bet they were doing something wrong. They were a union shop.
WTF? I don't work there and I'm not getting paid to solve their problems, but if they didn't have a problem, then they wouldn't be going out of business would they?
So if a corporation can't exploit workers it can't/doesn't chose to stay in business? Don't worry, the void will be filled by other companies and these sleaze balls will be out of the picture soon enough.All these GOP businessmen who are simultaneously raising prices in the most public manner possible -- WAY ahead of incurring any actual costs -- the public lay-offs because they could afford to stay in business the day before the election but not the day after (temper tantrums) and now the closing of a company because workers dared to require that company to comply with the law is all just coordinated Republican BS designed to produce outrage in non-thinking citizens.
How much more detached from reality and simple accounting can these maggots be? There is no hope for these freakin' idiots, I am amazed that they think everything is greed as opposed to grasping simple business concepts.
I was thinking the same. I expect more and more of this in the future. As unions and the government suck the life blood out of a companies, the only solution is for the owners to go on strike.
Exactly like that.

Sadly I disagree. I suspect that very few of them learned anything. Just as you already said they will continue to blame the company.
ROFL - excellent.
True - and I like Hostess much more than Little Debbie. But it won’t be immediate and in the meantime there will be a lot of pain. I feel sorry for the non-union employees stuck in the middle (and surprisingly enough the Teamsters that agreed to the new contract - it was just the Bakers union).
Thanks Twink!
