18,500 layed off by Hostess/company liquidating!

Hostess to close, lay off 18,500 after 'crippling' union fight | Fox News

A small union's stubbornness in contract talks with Hostess is being blamed for the shutdown of one of America's snack food icons, the loss of 18,500 jobs just before the holiday season and much-needed tax revenue from hundreds of plants and shops across the country.

And I wouldn't worry all that much about the future of Twinkies, either. They're selling assets in bankruptcy, but that just means that the brand will be bought by somebody else.

The CEO told the employees take a 30% pay cut or they have to close cause they are hemorrhaging money.

This pic is the twinkie section at a Knoxville, TN Kroger. Serious pic. Tweeted by ESPN's Darren Rovell.

What you failed to mention is the way that company was pushed into insolvency by their striking labor unions. Damned greedy bastiges. They don't care about the 18,000 jobs they killed.

Huh? I'm pointing out that the employees are to blame. Company has to pay less or close. Demand for their products isn't there yet the employees think they are entitled to something.

Well, did you fail to mention it, or not? For the benefit of those not familiar with this typical act of greed by the unions, I felt compelled to provide some pithy information.
