I don't even know if I've ever had a twinkie in my entire life. Doesn't look like I ever will either.

It's not that simple Paul. This problem has been going on for a very long time. Much more than a year There are two unions involved here and both of them have been giving back with repeated negotiations. These unions are crippled compared to what they once were. You can "figure" for them all you want, but IMO these are hard working blue collar workers and I don't believe for a second that they want to sit home and begin losing everything they have worked for. My brother told me last month many of the drivers he worked with over there were willing to give up full-time jobs for a temporary route with another company, in hopes of getting a job with a better managed company.
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.

No it's not...a Ho Ho is VERY different than a Twinkie

I actually don't think they are as good as I thought they were when I was a kid.
Not REAL sweat tea.....most places have some half assed attempt at it but fail.

except you pay for insurance too. I've had to deal with the Teamsters before and as far as I'm concerned they can crash and burn. I have a friend who I watched get screwed by the steamfitters....yes there is good and bad but it's a well published fact about the amount of corruption involved in Unions. They kicked the teamsters out of the Javitz Center in NYC...due to the sabotage and threats of violence the state troopers had to be called in for security during trade shows....and the reason they were kicked out was because of corruption.
The choice was an 8% cut in pay or no job....Me, I'd rather have a job. But I'm going to leave this here as it's not the place.

When I used to eat bread, I thought it was nasty. It's been so overly processed, it's really not even bread anymore.
