HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! And bring on the Twinkies! I love them!

The Twinkie company just claimed chapter 11 or 13 so they could reopen without the union - sm

What a scam

One of the unions was why they were going - to close

Unions are NOT the be all and end all to everything good and wonderful in the world.

Unions are why Detroit is a ghost town - the auto industry sent everything over seas or to cheaper US markets because the unions in Detroit cost them way too much money. Unions are why are lot of manufacturing has gone overseas.

Let's see. Would you rather have a job at $15 an hour or NO job at $30 an hour? I know which one I'd choose.

There were two unions involved with Hostess. Hostess was very upfront with their financial situation. One of the unions worked with them, but the other one stuck to their demands which were, quite frankly, not in this realm of reality, and Hostess had no choice but to close. That's how much good a union does for you.

Why they were going to? - They did close!

Hostess is out of business. Some other company bought the Twinkie line, along with some other assorted snack food, which is why they are now coming back; however, it is no longer a Hostess product.

The Bakers Union screwed things up for everyone. The Teamsters agreed to the terms of the new contract.

that's what I understood too - Hostess is no more. - been sold off. NM

You are correct - they did close

And all those people lost their jobs because of 1 stubborn, greedy union.

Not to mention the day-old stores, route drivers - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
merchandisers, and other plants around the country - all of those workers lost their jobs, too. We had a Hostess plant in Henderson (Las Vegas) that closed with everything else. Unions have no place in our current world, unfortunately.

Stupid Unions! - see msg please

I have posted many times before about the dang unions. Dern near ruined this here country by putting the biggest of companies out of business. I'm with the viewpoint of I'd rather have $15 per hour, than used to have $30 per hour and now nothing.

How come no one ever expects senior management to - compromise on THEIR salary and bennies???

[ In Reply To ..]
Boo-hoo, the poor auto manufacturers and Hostess got bullied by the unions. When upper level management makes a reasonable salary (not mega times what the lowest paid worker in the company makes) during a time of difficulty in the company, THEN talk to me about unions if you think their demands are out of line. For the most part, union workers are not, and have never been, rich. They hope to make a decent living wage for the work they do. Tell me how CEOs deserve multimillion dollar salaries, bonuses, bennie packages, and golden parachutes when their corporations are in dire straits--or even when they're doing very well, for that matter. The first place they make cuts is in the wages and benefits of their low-level employees. Then they have the balls to turn around and blame those same low-level employees for fighting to stay on a path of financial progress.

Corporate America mixed the Kool-Aid and blamed the country's economic downfall on the unions, and so many people drank that Kool-Aid. If you want to know where the problem lies, follow the money. It is NOT inside the pockets of union workers.

For crying out loud, look at the MT industry. When the voices of American MTs are finally heard regarding the downward trajectory of our pay, the MTSOs will answer by saying they simply cannot afford to pay the too-high wages of MTs in this country and that's why they've had to offshore all the work. Will you enjoy having people blame you for destroying your own livelihood because of your "greed"?

Those with lots of money blame those with significantly less money for the demise of American labor. Yeah, that makes sense.

Not saying CEOs are correct - Just saying...

...to have to pay someone $35 an hour to put a cherry on a cupcake is just silly.

The people who owned those companies lost millions upon millions, and unions are one of the main reasons. EVERYONE could have been happy if not for the unions, is my point. Now, nobody is.

You are completely incorrect. - anon

They completely went out of business and liquidated everything. Everything is under new ownership.

In December, my significant other (BF sounds so young) and I will have been together 10 years. We are both 51 and basically get anything we want when we want it.

WASHINGTON—Senate Republicans' ban on earmarks -- money included in a bill by a lawmaker to benefit a home-state project or interest -- was short-lived. Only three days after GOP senators and senators-elect renounced earmarks, Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, the No. 2 Senate Republican, got himself a whopping $200 million to settle an Arizona Indian tribe's water rights claim against the government. Kyl slipped the measure into a larger bill sought by President Barack Obama and passed ...

Scores of U.S. lawmakers are converging on tiny Selma, Alabama, for a large commemoration of a civil rights anniversary. But their ranks don’t include a single member of House Republican leadership — a point that isn’t lost on congressional black leaders.

It's so funny all the protests going on about border security. Illegal immigrants think the borders should be open to all (which would include terrorists). They protested against Marco Rubio yet when asked, didn't know who he was or what he represented in immigration reform. He is a Republican, that's all they knew and were told by SEIU and AFL-CIO. If they want to be citizens of this country, they have to learn about the government and pass tests regarding how our country works. ...
