Hostess Brands will move promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders.

Ouch.

To he highest bidders? What the fuck is that going to look like? The state of Alabama descending on some auction in the middle of nowhere? It seems like a desert at first, only to reveal that off-white color isn't sand but the ground completely carpeted by the goo-filled goodness of Twinkies?

"And now, our first item: a seven lifetime supply of stale Cupcakes."

*eighty-three hands go up*

Actually, it'll be the rights to use the brand names of Hostess' products, which is well beyond Twinkies, cupcakes, Ho-Hos and Ding Dongs. There's a great deal of baked goods that you'd recognize the names of, that will be affected by this, including but not limited to: Baker's Inn, Blue Ribbon, Colombo, Toscana and Wonder Bread.

You should probably read up on the situation before trying to talk about it.

Meh, even if he did, most media outlets are reporting it as the Union's fault anyhow. There's no mention of how Interstate Bakeries/Hostess have been in and out of bankruptcy for the past 10 years, nor how the BCTGM & Teamsters members took massive concessions over that period, as well as bought into 25% of the corporate stock to give them some much needed influx of cash... which ended up getting pissed away.

Allegedly, they've known they were going to go out for over a year now, and in that time several of the top CEO's have raised their salaries two to three times over in an attempt to get as much out of the company though the back door before the creditors come knocking.

But even if you don't look into all of that, and you still think Unions are a bad deal, so be it. However, those Unions are in place by legally binding contractual obligations - and it shouldn't be the government's or anyone else's place to break them whenever the rich folk can't manage to balance their pocketbooks.
