… and they did, and they did.
If you’ve been listening to me for any time at all you will know that I
absolutely LOVE this story. I love it when idiot union members –
unthinking mobs – shoot themselves in the foot. It’s happened again,
and I’ll try not to laugh out loud as I tell you about it.
Hostess Brands … you know, the folks who make Twinkies, Ho Hos and other
such goodies as well as Wonder Bread, declared bankruptcy last January.
Now this was a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. That means that Hostess was
asking the Bankruptcy Court for protection from its creditors as it
tried to reorganize so that the business would be profitable and
sustainable. Hostess asked for, and the court granted, permission to
force certain concessions regarding wages on benefits on the labor
unions representing its workers. This is why we have Chapter 11
bankruptcies. The theory behind Chapter 11 is that it is better to
allow a company to reorganize by restructuring its debt and agreements
with labor unions than it is for the company to simply shut down and put
all of the workers on the streets and the lenders with unpaid loans.
Well … as you might expect … the union workers didn’t like this even
one little bit. The took a strike vote and prepared to walk out.
Hostess CEO Gregory Rayburn made it clear to the unions and to the media
that he would flat-out close – shut down – any Hostess facilities that
were no longer able to produce and deliver products because of union
action. The unions chose to ignore his warning and went on strike last
Friday. Who knows, maybe they were feeling emboldened by the victory of
their hero Barack Obama. At three plants non-union workers refused to
cross the union picket lines, and these locations were permanently
closed. Over 650 union jobs … gone.
Now on the show today you’re going to hear some audio from one of these
union members. You will hear him say that “all you want to do is just
take our jobs away from us.” Well, union dude, here’s a hint. Those
are NOT your jobs. Those jobs belong to the company – to Hostess. They
created those jobs, not you. You were looking for a job. They had a
job. You found the job. It’s theirs. They let you do it in exchange
for money and benefits. You didn’t give them a damn thing. You traded
work for money.
By the way, union dude, you need to brush up on your English before you
go looking fo another gig. It’s a buyer’s market right now. Potential
employers aren’t impressed with people who say “we ain’t got no ….”
Just a friendly hint.

*lose their jobs* ?
You're right who cares...
Which make me also wonder why car company UNION JOBS were rescued with
tens of billions of tax payer dollars and yet the UNION coal miners JOBS
are NOT worth saving, why are union AUTO workers more important than
union COAL miners? And the sugar snack food is going to be run out of
business by the UNIONS and Obama on purpose.
Is it another case of Obama wants to get rid of the TWINKIES AND THE
COAL to force you to live the life style that Progressive-Socialists
have decided is best for you?
Looks like BIG BROTHER has become BIG MOMMY that wants to make you the
perfect citizen.
BIG PROTHER is a stalker that watches you get dressed in teh morning and
knows what you eat and in which rooms you turn the lights on, BIG
BROTHER wants to see what color underwear you have on and what you
packed for your lunch, BIG BROTHER wants to tell you how to get to work
and where you will work and BIG BROTHER wants to do that to your whole
family.
The UNIONS are looking more and more like they have already been
drinking the Socialist Kool-Ade and are now the brown shirts of this
Regime.
Close the Twinkies plant, or close the coal industry down..... they're
happy to go on welfare for the cause.

they need those union jobs.
Those unions are all in for the Socialist movement, these other unions
have been saying that America is great and they should have been saying
that Socialism is great.
