AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka still has a do nothing job and the workers are without a job.
Lets see if we can guess which ones are the dummies.

Great question!
BTW, I believe that once a company goes into bankruptcy all contracts become null and void, like the union contract.
That means that the union can buy the company, and in order make it profitable they would have to hire hire non union workers. That’s the solution.(SARC)

Agreed.
Every time I see his picture or watch video of him, I mentally overdub the sound of flatulence as his mouth moves.

Trumka is very happy to have obama pushing from behind.

Hey Trumka, listen up, doofus:
per Zero Hedge:
"And here comes the Hostess twist: because Tim Collins of Ripplewood [Ripplewood holdings, injecting $130 million in order to obtain equity control of Hostess as it was emerging last time], was a prominent Democrat, a position which allowed him to get involved in the first bankruptcy process in the first place, due to his proximity with the Teamsters' long-term heartthrob Dick Gephardt (whose consulting group just happens to also be an equity owner of Hostess).

Most people are on to this BS now. Reverse the topic or even change the topic to demonize the other side. Bushs fault, Romneys fault. Trumpka is his parents fault. His mother should have had an abortion. Fat ugly, communist bastard.
I propose that we need to adopt Alinsky tactics and begin with Trumka. FREEZE, PERSONALIZE, POLARIZE!
TRUMKA'S FAULT!!
SAY IT LOUD!
SAY IT OFTEN!

Obama probably wanted to bail out Hostess but then Michelle would make him sleep on the couch for the rest of his term.

Maybe B’raq can nationalize Hostess, and since the government is filled with Twinkies there will never be a shortage.

A “One Percenter” hustling the dopes with class warfare rhetoric. Michael Moore, but with a better tailor.

Apparently Trumpka missed Obama’s memo.... the private sector is doing just fine. Hey what's 18,000 more unemployed, we've got MILLIONS already.
To: Eagle of Liberty
Really FR?! You took down my post with a pic of Trumka? wow......

Would love to see some details here. How much were the employees making? How many were collecting pensions? What were their “concessions?” What were the company’s profits & costs like?
Very poorly reported story here. Sadly, it’s just accepted that these things don’t really matter.
(And, no, I wasn’t expecting otherwise....)

yep, and makes it profitable running it with 1/3rd the employees that hostess did.
