well, lets face it, the right is now the whore party to corporate welfare and craven capitulism to corporations. Nobody can beat that.

Perhaps you did not read the bankruptsy judge's rueling concerning how it was to be done. Perhaps you should ,since it prevents the owners from striping the corporation of it's assets and why?

Striping? (there were multiple other spelling and grammar errors...but I felt "striping" was the most egregious...the most deserving of my disdain).

egregious --- its original meaning was distinguished, and archaically used it connotates same. Disquieting; perhaps, errant; certainly, egregious, only to pedantics and hoi polloi. Like the English blokes.

quote: ORIGINAL: FatDomDaddy The 7,000 Teamsters accepted the new contract... so I guess you think they are getting a golden parachute too huh??? So how is rejecting a new contract and closing the company going to help the 18,500 people out of work today? Here's the simple fact... They were not getting a better collective bargaining deal. Now they have even less. Here is another simple fact. The company went bankrupt in 2004 and were subsequently taken over by investmment bankers. The new owner broke the terms of workers contracts, so the workers went on strike. Thats even suggesting the management were doing a good job of running the company. Odd how capitalists cry like a babies when workers apply the right to withdraw labour. You are forgetting your mantra "no one is too big to fail"

The first were the ancient Pelopenesians......how do you say rebuttal in Pelopenesian? OI? Hint: it is not ad nauseUm, it is ad nauseAm, it means to nauseA, it does not mean to nauseU.

Tell that to the 14,000 workers who agreed to accept the CBA

You are forgetting your mantra "no one is too big to fail" Personally, I do believe that no one is too big to fail. In this case, I think the blame lies on both sides of the aisle. The management of Hostess bungled things one too many times, and the union reps were too dogmatic in their contract negotiations. Who shares MORE of the blame is open to debate, and I can see both sides of the coin here. But, I think it is fallacious for the right to place the blame purely on the unions or for the left to place it purely on management. As with all things, it takes two to tango...and this tango led them straight off a cliff.

not to mention the hundreds of thousands not paid into their pension funds ...
