The sweet life of Bakery Union officials

Soon to be or newly jobless Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union members who work(ed) at Twinkie and Ding Dong maker Hostess Baking are contemplating a bleak Christmas that not even a trip to low cost, non union WalMart can alleviate.  

However the Bakery Workers' union's officials are quite comfortable thank you very much.  Yes, it is true that Hostess had been in financial difficulties for a number of years as union president Frank Hurt stated.

Forced solidarity is no solidarity at all. Even prisoners in a chain gang have “solidarity.” Only through complete voluntary unionism will there be real solidarity that fosters mature relationships to save and create jobs. To be pro-union worker means to be pro-right to work.

King claims that there is no need for Right to Work legislation because “the domestic auto industry is roaring back”.

The roar is the sound of the industry leaving the country.

Merry Christmas, Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union.....Stand in line and collect your lump of coal...suckers!

The union officials have become like our government. They couldn’t care less what the workers or the people want. Its all about them and their plans.

Thugs and sheep.

I tried for over 4 years to have a common sense conversation about this kind of crap with my (now former) boyfriend, a union carpenter. You’ll never get through to the majority of the rank and file. I guess they’re happy to throw their money at quarterly dues in hopes of attaining some level of pension and benefits...at least for awhile.

Yep, the obvious difference is the commie union does not produce where the companies do or try to in spite of these bums.

I wonder how many people are still sitting on their porches in South Bend, Indiana, waiting for Studebaker to come back?

[richardtavor]

Yes, those union bosses are looking after the rank and file...belive that...

I don't know about anyone else out there; but, if I was in charge of hiring and an ex-Hostest baker showed up I would place them at the bottom of the pile. Why hire problems?
