Don't Support Union Busting Hostess Twinkees !

[Mr Shifter]

Try adopting a kid within America ... damn near impossible.

That's one of many things that are wrong with this country. I bought a T-shirt ,cotton from USA assembled in Malaysia then sent back to the USA to be sold. WTF!!!

. Dying clothing is a dirty process and I'm sure the Malaysian "EPA" is easier to work with.

i'm afraid more and more companies will use these union busting techniques. then it will turn out to a race to the bottom with wages. only thing stopping anyone will be the federal minimum wage.

there was an interesting article comparing successful union Costco and not so successful sam's Club. wish I could find it. people seem to forget that union usually means quality.

Biggest union busting technique out there is to create an opposing organization claiming to be Teamsters only bad mouth the current administration in every move they make in order to fleece the members out of paying additional monies in an effort to finance a multi marketing scheme for that organizations head for personal financial gain.

I never was a big fan of twinkies so I doubt I will be buying the new version once it hits store shelves. With that being said the unions at hostess had their chance to remain employed and they voted for no job at all so the lack of union labor wouldn't affect my decision to buy it or not.

Spoken just like your hero. Ole' Ronnie never did like the working class. They got in the way of the Wall Street titans.

​That explains the "TDU" item on the UPS ledger sheet.

I wouldn't doubt that. And they are probably laughing their azzes off at us.

I would. TDU sucks but I don't think they are on the Company dole. Now the APWA & Tom Coleman certainly were. I wonder whose head rolled for that waste of money?

using that logic we shouldn't ask for anything.

Wasn't Reagan a union president?

So I am supposed to boycott a product because the workers, by their own choice, voted themselves out of a job? They were told if you don't accept these terms we are going out of business, they did not accept the terms and they did just that. They were warned beforehand, it was no surprise that hostess was in dire financial straights, but they voted themselves out of a job anyway. Exactly how is that the company's fault again?

I miss the APWA and their promise of a 7000 a month pension.

I'm sorry but it is hard to take serious any thread with "Hostess Twinkees" in the title ... it equates to "Honey Boo Boo".

Too bad the brand wasn't allowed to die.

Don't you make fun of honey boo boo I like sketti

When it comes to Twinkies, I put it on the same level as the McRib. It's good on rare occasion, but eat a few of them and it just really starts to taste bad.

Guess I'll pass on the deep fried ones again at the fair.

Definitely NOT impossible, but certainly not the easiest way. It requires a lot of patience and IMHO a good test.

In the West that isn't far from reality, no sham union needed.

back on shelves july 15th. they can rot on the shelves.

I have only had 2 Twinkees in my life but since they kicked the union out I'm going to by them by the case and have then delivered by a truck. A FedEx non-union truck.

I stopped eating twinkles when they reduced the cream filling to 2oz about 15 years ago. Before they were busting at the seams. Who knew they were cutting corners back then?
