A lot of people seem confused about this. Let me give you some facts.
Hostess went bankrupt in 2004, and the only way it was able to survive was when the workers accepted drastic pay cuts.
The CEO gave himself a bonus after the workers accepted these cuts. He also took giving himself a pay cut off the table when negotiating with the union in 2012.
The management team was inept. They didn't conform to 21st century business practices that would keep the company afloat.
In short, it was the management's fault you don't have Twinkies, not the union's.
Agree?
