Only an amateur would blame the unions. The real culprit here is Equal Access to Education, as in Mothers (aka Women) not letting their kids eat twinkies anymore, thus reducing Twinkie's marketshare.
Once again, educating women is shown to be anti-capitalistic and thus un-American. Damn those liberal intellectual elitists!

Think again. It's the same thing happening at many businesses in the US, an extremely anti-business climate by this administration in favor of government jobs over private sector jobs. In the REAL world, employers sometimes decrease pay and/or benefits during hard times, it saves jobs. But unions have never understood this, demanding entitlement they think they deserve, which goes against any form of basic business accounting.
With what's coming, with what even the markets are showing as they do this slow-crash/hard-adjustment since the results of this fraudulent election, they are probably better off de-investing and taking their losses now rather than later. They can downscale, which is nothing new to business, or be forced by the unions to go out of business. Looks like the employees would rather just take unemployment benefits from the government, so much easier than working. |

Well as the company fails, the government can always step in [again], buy it all up and hand it all over to the union using taxpayer money (debt for the great-great-grandchildren to pay). Then the government can mandate change, start using organic healthy ingredients, green energy, environmental friendly packaging (e.g. moss/algae formula), reducing greenhouse emissions. Then they can sell a few boxes to maybe Europe before needing another bailout. |

Oh man. Not just Twinkies, but Hostess Cupcakes, Donettes, Sno Balls and Ding Dongs. And the worst of all, Wonder Bread.
I guess this means the end of the eye-catching but affordable Twinkies wedding cake. |

The more of them you eat, the longer your body will stay intact. After you're dead, that is. No embalming is needed at all for Hostess eaters.

Yeah... ding dongs, too  I loved those when I was a kid and still eat them once in a while. Here's the thing, I could eat one or two and feel satisfied, no need for more junk food. I wasn't a fat kid, and being decades ago there were just very few fat kids. You can say whatever you want about some silly idea that parents know better now or whatever, but kids now are FAT!! And it's not from twinkies or ding dongs, it's all this new junk that just makes you want to eat more and more, never satisfied. |

Ohh, right, sorry.. forgot I was talking to Americans here, not rational people.
BTW, I'm not saying Unions are innocent, such a breakdown like this comes only from both sides failing to compromise... I just get really sick of **** like this being entirely blamed on the workers/Unions.
Oh and "Think of the poor shareholders" serious? My reaction is **** the shareholders, no seriously, just **** them because it's the whole *****ing share market that is at the core of our entire ****ing ****ud up society. |

Yeah but it isn't because the market wasn't there, so it won't be for long term. People won't stop eating crap just because one manufacturer hits the dust. Most of the demand will propably just move to other products or same/similar product made by another company, that in turn will need more workers to meet the increased demand. |

Obviously you don't know how businesses operate... hiring more people means they have to pay out more monies when they can just work their current employees to death for a fraction of the price!

qft and they too will probably take pay and benefit cuts along with layoffs while drawing on outsourcing from 3rd world nations that pay children 82 cents on 16 hour days.

Even my divorced roommates child is way obese for his 11 years. It is indeed a problem that is whacking us over the head with expense. |
