ORIGINAL: GoddessInanna Oh get off it. America is still a fat tinkie eating nation just most of it is eating from the food bank at the moment, that has a shortage by the way . Its not just hostess either. The teacher's union is responsible for us having one of the worst educational systems at the mometn. You can't even work if you have a masters and start because the unions wont let you take a normal starting wage and no school will hire. but according the teacher union our educational system is in shambles because they don't make enough so the teachers don't have enough incentive. Just recently the local metal workers union wouldn't take a new contract because the company couldn't afford a the current wage anymore. the workers had to strike against their union or all the metal workers would be with out a job. I think it has a lot to do with the union. While I'm not going to argue that Unions have some responsibility in the fall of Hostess, giving exec's raises/bonuses and then turning around and asking for concessions from the Union workers is bad business. Bud, I have to (respectfully) argue here....the execs were running the show, holding the reigns....they did what they felt best and gave the plebes a chance to join. They chose not to. Wanna sit in the big chair? Buy a ticket. Damn. Missed another in there. Should start out, "While I'm not going to argue that Unions don't have some responsibility..." Totally changes things. Unions have some responsibility for the fall. The Market has some responsibility for the fall. Management has some responsibility for the fall. Since the Market shouldn't be strong-armed into being changed (you know, mandated Twinkie purchases, for example), it comes down to Union and/or Management taking a hit. Since Management salary/benefits rose, shouldn't that be reversed right off the bat?
