You need to broaden your horizon a little Hos, you've been suckin up the Union talking points just a tad bit too long. By the way, the head of the Baker's Union makes $200K annually (Some six times the average worker salary) and won't loose a dime. So let's not point fingers at the CEO.
You forgot the fact that the company was/is under re-organization to keep the company functioning with 18,500 employees. 18,000 of which signed onto the re-organization program while 500 members of the bakers union put the final nail in the coffin.
A twinkie has a very long shelf life. So if the 500 bakers want to keep their job now, they can follow the equipment (That will be sold for pennies on the dollar) they were using all the way to china and continue to bake twinkies and earn $3 a day! This is not the first company that the unions have dragged under. You and I (The tax payer) are now subsidizing GM to keep them from ending up in china. When the union put the Steel Industry under, where did that business go?
I'm not blaming the union for all the problems of Hostess. I do blame them for dragging Hostess under when the company was on the ropes.
Good judgment? You decide!
