Twinkees Dead, Union Charged with Ho-Homicide..

Twinkies Are Back! (But Guess Who’s ‘Not Expected to be Involved’ Going Forward)

Hundreds of people lost their jobs when Hostess, then in bankruptcy proceedings, closed the plant in Emporia last November following a strike by union bakers:

The Hostess closing left 18,000 people out of work across the country—with about 5,000 of those union members. Hiring in remodeled plants is underway. …
“The Hostess strike will be a lasting image and not for the good of unions,” said Marc Bloch, a labor and employment lawyer at Walter & Haverfield.
“I think any management team will hold up a photo to its workers of Hostess strikers and say, ‘What’s a union going to do for you?”’ Bloch said. “The case can be made that they did nothing.” …
Only 14.3 million of all workers in the U.S. currently belong to unions, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics—just 11.3 percent of the total workforce. That’s the lowest rate in 70 years. The peak for union workers was a 35 percent rate during the mid-1950s, after a surge in unionization during the Great Depression through post-World War II.​

It wasnt five, it was two, the BCTGM manufactured the twinkies and the ibt delivered them.
 
So is the new company able to produce and ship Twinkies for free now?
Guess maybe the could have raised the price of a box to $10.00 and kept the union employees!

And more onerous work rules then you could shake a stick at. Current Unions are all about the same thing as corporations and that is revenue. The more dues paying members you have the better the union bosses live as there is more revenue. Work rules, Profitable companies and the opportunity to negotiate for better wages mean nothing to current labor unions if it negatively affects their revenue stream.
 
The members gave and gave and gave and the executives got richer and the company had a failed business plan.

Dont let the facts get in your way.
