The unions got a little cocky, thinking they had a supporter in the WH. They took the election for support for unions. Look how wrong they were.

Got no issues paying union dues and watching their funds get raped over and over again by the union but if management doesn't bend over and take it in the rear waaaaaaaaaaaa.

Ethics are taught in most business schools. While most may not have specific classes on ethics (or at least require specific classes on ethics), they are taught.

Please spare me. Hostess was taken over by a private equity firm that buys companies, runs up debt so that their investors make big money, and then sells off pieces of the company, while blaming unions. I suggest you re-watch "Wall Street."

Management was composed of a few venture capitalists. I'm sure they ARE sitting around and laughing.

However, you didn't even come close to answering my question. Typical.

No, they did NOT. Some of the unions did. But one didn't, they were going to strike, and now ding dong....

Liberals. Apparently economic reality is not taught in union worshops. It's not about "need", it's about "worth".

It sounds like those union workers were doing pretty well. Doing a job that I'm pretty sure a lot of other folks could do. And in the process, the company died because they had pretty sweet benefits.
