The Unions killed Twinkies!!

Wrong. They form a union, you fire them. Period. End of story. I represent over 40 factories. Been there, done that, still dealing with what little is left. You fire them all and start over, or you pack the fuck up and move.

wish you would do your magic with pro sports.

Glad to see all of yall talking shit about unions. Sometimes they aren't the greatest. 4years ago they went thru that same stuff and gave in to management. Management ran the company back into the ground, so how is it the unions fault?

I guess you missed the part where the court ordered them back to work and they walked off the job?

[slowbrick2]

hell I dont care. Just all the your in a union your a piece shit talk here.

You asked "how is it the union's fault?". I guess you didn't like the answer.

unions are pieces of shit, not necessarily people that work for them, as long as there are unions people will definitely work for them.

Don't worry! I think another company will buy the recipes and get the goodness back on the shelves!

Somewhat true, but lazy entitled people tend to find jobs that allow and promote their lazy and entitled behavior, because they don't last at normal jobs.

My boy picked up a few cases for me from Market Street, they should last me a lifetime.

SUCKAS!!!

I read something earlier that mentioned that the striking workers (Bakers Union in this case) are not eligible for unemployment benefits. There will also be no severance pay, medical benefit extensions, or pay for unused vacation. They are cut the fuck off effective immediately.

The Teamsters were not striking, so I guess they would be eligible for unemployment. Regardless, 18,000 people out of work is a shitload...

While I agree that the Bakers Union should have been more flexible, it sounds like they've been circling the drain for the last 10 years. Ultimately, management's job is to keep the company afloat and they've failed.

DFWStangs Twinkie group buy?

[jayjohnson600]

Gone baby gone.

Heh, take a look at the Twinkies auctions on ebay.

Rampant Twinkie speculation, now that it's a non-renewable resource.

Its all Obama's fault....why no bail out for the Twinks and Ding Dongs?

I heard there was a petition on WeThePeople.org to do just that... isn't that site run by the Whitehouse?

[red95gts]

I give it 24hrs before there's a news interview with an obese, Obama-supporter talking about how it's bullshit that she won't be able to buy Twinkies with her food stamps.

Who cares about Twinkies they are disgusting!
