Our eyes met across the crowded hat store. I, a customer, and she a coquettish haberdasher. Oh, I pursued and she withdrew, then she pursued and I withdrew, and so we danced. I burned for her, much like the burning during urination that I would experience soon afterwards.
Nothing happened since I was last on
I guess I need to disappear for 3 days these days to get some material....
On other News....I declare today National "Punch a Union Boss in the Face day"....The Union thought Hostess was bluffing in typical arrogant Union fashion so proof positive they care more about themselves than their members/workers....Now 18,500 people get to jump on the Gov't cheese wagon because they have lost their job as Hostess closes up and prepares to liquidate their assets

Good morning everyone! Except for those 18,500 people that just found out they are unemployed 5 weeks before Christmas....

unfortunately it is a sign of what its to come I'm afraid. Unions were a good idea when they were created and there were actual terrible job conditions, now they're just bullies that drive companies to bankruptcy

Exactly! Back then people were afraid to change jobs and put up with miserable conditions. Once the Unions achieved their original goal....corruption set in and they went for more and more holding companies and workers hostage.

I will admit some Unions are better than others....but it seems the majority of them follow the same path as the most corrupt ones eventually.

My father worked for ITT bakeries most of his life. Disturbingly, my brother ended up working for them as well up to two years ago. The teamsters were much stronger when my father worked there. With this negotiation they gave in to managements demands, however the baker's union saw the writing on the wall. You can blame the union, however with two generations of family working for this company, it is clear to me that they have been mismanaged for a very long time. My old landlord works for Arnold's and it is amazing how completely different these two companies are. If you choose to blame the unions for Hostess, then you can compliment them for the success of Arnold's. IMO it has more to do with the people who actually make the decisions for how the companies are managed.

Hostess is doomed because they sell fatty food in a time when we're trying to stop the childhood obese epidemic that's happening. There used to be 3 or 4 hostess stores in my general area, now, 0

For a year or more Hostess has been trying to restructure/reorganize to stay solvent....While it may be due to mismanagement, the Union and employees flat refused to work with them. I'm figuring they would rather sit home and collect unemployment benefits rather than make any kind of sacrifice themselves in order to keep the company afloat.
You try taking a reduction in pay, paying more for medical, losing vacation time, etc., etc. with each negotiation and then explain to me how they are being greedy.
Honestly, the people working for this company will be better off elsewhere. Some of them are just clinging on and can't see what a blessing it will be for them to finally leave. The product the consumers love will be bought up by another company and will be produced once again.
At times like this we should be thankful that we are not in a similar situation.
