Spoken like a true corporate overseer. They have jobs with benefits? Really? I wonder why they have those benefits. Union perhaps? I thought you guys hated unions. Since when do tightie righties care about giving employees benefits anyway? Some are fighting tooth and nail to try and avoid the ACA.

It's the contempt towards the people who truly make a company what it is with the sweat of their brow that is killing your party. Remember, Dale, there are way more voting "poor widdle employees" out there than management types and we're just getting started.

If no company no employees either.
It's give and take from both sides.

Anyone here ever think the reason benefits are being taken away is the rising cost of healthcare? Anyone here ever think the reason health care costs are sky rocketing is because of our governments involvement?
Anyone here think...pfffftt who am I kidding? When people think healthcare is a right, that one person has a right to anothers property, we are lost.

Against all enemies foreign and domestic.

Keep it up. I'm laughing at you and will laugh even more when you are reduced to 29 hours with no benefits.

I'd guess the Unions Funds are pretty loaded. If the Union Culture works so well you'd think they'd invest in these type of companies, buy them and run them like well oiled union companies.

Could it be that Union controlled companies are not a good investment (even for the union) ?

They could always ship the jobs over seas, but my guess is management didn't like the idea of living in China, India, or some third world country lol

Takes time to train 18,000 new workers. And then to get that many scab workers is hard to do.

Hostess had bluffed at shutdown before with union negotiations, the union called their bluff.

Hostess brand ding dongs and twinkies will be happily taken up and bought by other companies, rest assured. Names like wonder bread and twinkie are just to well known.
