Reminds me of a song by Bobby Bare--"The Winner" SO, the Union WINS. They sought by extortion to make Hostess pay more than they could afford. And Union people wonder why companies relocate to Mexico, Vietnam, Brazil, and so on

A union did this to a copper smelter in Arizona- many years ago- smelter closed down, reopened in another state as non-union, strikers were still out in front of old closed smelter for years with their strike signs- makes no sense to me.

Didn't think I'd live to see this happen. I grew up in Rochester, NY. There was a Wonder Bread factory around the corner from us, and you could smell the bread baking. It was wonderful. Back then Schuler's Potato Chips was also producing products, and you could smell the chips cooking too. Schuler's was eventually bought out by Wise.

Freaking unions have screwed up this country. I had to belong to a union when I worked for the state. They were useless when it came to pursuing legitimate grievances. All they wanted was your union dues from your paycheck every two weeks. Trying to get fair representation from the main union office was a joke. Any complaint I ever filed, I won on my own, not because the union did anything.

It's sad that the Hostess company is closing, but I'm glad the union is getting screwed because of it. Stupid people. See how it feels to be without a job the month before Christmas.

Dolly Madison used to make the best darn cakes years ago. Hostess deserves to go under for what they did to them. I don’t think the stuff they make today is even organic.
