Dear Mr. Durkee (Union President) -
They are building twinkies and ho-ho’s, not the space shuttle. Get over yourself.

Nonsense, Durkee, they saw what your union did to the last owners.

The demanding wholesale snack cake industry. This is satire, right?

Consider the source. Sour grapes from the union lackeys, methinks. If they’re good, people will buy them.

I don't’ have a Hostess habit, but this makes me want to develop one.

“Professional bakers” lol

....”professional bakers” ..... lol
To: mdittmar
Well actually, the professional bakers were putting out stale tasting cupcakes for hostess for the last 20 years. I think they lost control of their quality, possibly through the use of contract bakers.
I’m thinking if they do it themselves they can control quality.

And the union work rules that required that two different products made in the same factory going to the same store must be delivered by two different union drivers driving two different trucks helped quality, efficiency and sustainability exactly HOW???
To: mdittmar
I bought a box of Twinkies at the supermarket this morning. They taste so much better now without the union stain.
To: mdittmar
...the experience, skill and professionalism of our members.... Someone help me out here: of those three qualities, which was "involved" in the decision to blow-off Hostess when it told them, we will cease operations?

I believe they sell toy ovens that produce actual baked goods for 7 year-olds. As a former professional baker, 90% of the work can be taught to the uninitiated in about a week. Get over yourself.

"Rather than hire professional, experienced bakers who have produced quality snack cakes in the companys bakeries for decades, Hostess management has chosen instead to hire primarily workers with little or no experience in the demanding wholesale snack cake baking industry."
Interesting. They apparently have decided that if it's good enough for the obama administration it's good enough for Hostess. So-long Twinkies!
To: DannyTN
Because you know, and employee who cannot be fired produces better product than one who can . . . .

"Professional Bakers". ROTFLMAO! I saw them making Twinkees on "
Unwrapped" - it's all BY MACHINE! The union douchebags just stood around watching the machines and occasionally adding vegetable shortening or packaging them up.

Much of the operation could be automated. They would only need just enough bakers to ensure quality ingredients. The rest of the process could be handled by people who can punch buttons at the proper time.
It definitely could be done at much less than what it was costing them.
