$ 18 an hour to pack cookies ??? Holy sheet !
$18/hour for packing cookies into a box?!
Here’s a sad fact of life that private sector unions never ever seem to learn: the employer always has the last word, and that word is “Closed.”
“They’re going to pay $15 million to $20 million in shutdown costs,” Mr. Filippou said. “They wouldn’t talk to any of the private equity firms that tried to make a deal. To me, that’s just spite.”
Yes, I'm sure the owners decided to lose millions out of "spite." It had nothing to do with the downturn in the economy, and the intransigence of the union. No sir.
What a shame -- Stella D'oro was a NY institution.

Unions killed the once thriving manufacturing belt and casued it to be the rust belt instead
now the children and grandchildren of those folks have moved down south and brought their sensibilities with them
it remains to be seen if they will learn or try to screw up all over again down here
jury is still out but the fact that Nashville proper is now probably 25% northern born plays no small part in turning us into a “progressive” city
just look at the Piedmont
however here in Williamson county we appear to have gotten the “good” yankees...now if they can just learn to appreciate why our town square soldier faces south..lol
They were the OWNERS. Control goes with ownership - or it used to.
I suppose these unions think that they can put owners up against the wall and they'll buckle. Sometimes, maybe they do, but sometimes they say "screw you" and take the jobs to Mexico or even Ohio, where the remaining population well remember what union intransigence can do to the employment base of a community.
I spent 40 years of my life just two blocks from the Stella D’oro bakery in the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx and will forever remember the wonderful aromas of their baking products filling the air as I walked to school each morning.
If you can’t make it in NYC... you’re probably making an obscene profit..

$18 just to pack some cookies? I knew I missed my calling.
What a great example of what unions have done to business in this country!
Many people blame the management of unionized manufacturers for their woes, because they “give-in” to the unions.
However, as you can see, the NLRB (or government) sides with the unions more often than not. The fix is in....people who try to fight unions do so with both hands tied behind their back with regulations and rules enacted over the last 100 years by liberals.
Next time you see a US company in decline, don’t blame management.....blame liberals.
“These will be collector’s items.”
Cookies are collectibles? Liberals are nuts.
Unions are like virulent bacterial infections, they infest a host and if for whatever reason the hosts immune system can’t fight the toxin, the infection slowly kill it.
