All Over For Hostess
-
I, for one, would have figured that this country is obese enough to sustain Hostess' business model (no matter what it is).

Well the Chinese make terrible pastries cheaper so there's that.

Yep. They might even put ethylene glycol in it to kill us off.

Is this the Browns Board? There are no "it's Obama's fault" posts?

It's not Barack Obama's fault. It's Michelle Obama's fault! With her healthy food promoting UN agenda, something, something, MichelleMao.

" and their products are old and outdated "
I didn't think a Twinkie could be outdated?

Ha. Yes, there's nothing in there to decompose.

Corp America management AND the unions are two destructive forces these days, ...all too often.
Look at Goodyear. Management sucked, overreached, unions changed into fair and decent treatment of employees,
to blackmail, entitlement and permanet job security no matter what and self-perpetuating excesses.
You can't keep or make good management with a union, and you can't avoid a union with good management..
Go look at Richard Trumke sp? - AFL-CIO, to see where too many major unions have gone off the deep end.
And, Hostess chocolate cupcakes should be forever. Just not eaten very often.
But they are great with coffee once in a long while.

I always liked Twinkies with chocolate milk.

I think the nail in their coffin was making golden cupcakes. Who the f wants golden cupcakes? They're disgusting. Only chocolate cupcakes will do.

My personal favorite of all that garbage is the Saint Patrick's Day green hostess snowball!

Why? As far There were other unions involved but they settled, only the Baker's held out.
Seems to me that Little Debbie cakes are located in the South, possibly a right to work state. And the company probably is a dinosaur, even though I don't know if that makes them expendable.
I mean those people could actually use the jobs, right?

The reason I was asking, why haven't other companies gone under due to this strike? And I looked it up and Little Debbie is located in Tenn. And it is a privately owned company.

McKee Bakery (Little Debbie) is headquartered in Collegedale, Tn, about 15 miles from where I live. They are non-union.
McKee was the largest snack cake baker in the country. Hostess had a little more in sales but that included the sale of Wonder Bread. McKee is nothing but snack cakes and granola bars.
The local article is McKee is ramping up production.

The 82-year-old Hostess wants permission to pay senior management a bonus of up to 75 percent of their annual pay so they will stay on and help wind-down the business.
how convenient for a business hell bent on blaming their failures on the bakers union.

It's still the unions. you can take every penny from every corporate executives and put it back into the company and it really wouldn't change things. It's just an easy thing to get riled up over like congressional pay.
Or welfare, it's not that big a portion of the budget.

So you are ok with the executives getting up to 80% pay rise when the company was about 6 months to returning to bankruptcy and then asking union employees to take a 8% pay cut?
