    Why do republicans care more about companies than people?

      Because people only produce babies and companies produce money.

        Corporations are people my friend, people who donate unlimited money to the re-election efforts of Republicans.

          If Hostess was so concerned about costs, why did the executives triple their own salaries?
          A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

            Really though one must wonder about the utter stupidity of this union. Like, they'd rather lose their jobs than continue to be employed with some pay and benefits cuts? That makes no sense at all.
            I'm fairly certain the union workers did not want their company to be liquidated. The decision to liquidate was made by the executives, shortly after the executives decided to triple their own salaries.

                Given that only 5k of roughly 18k voted to strike, this is hardly fair for the other 13k workers.

                  I agree; it was grossly unfair for the executives to decide to liquidate the company.

                    Do you think the 5k unionized workers had the best interests of the 13k non-union workers in mind?

                      Is it fair for executives to vote to triple their own salaries when the company they run is failing? Nothing about the way businesses operate is "fair" except the expectation that they will honor their contracts.

                        Seeing as though they are part of the same union it's ridiculous for you to assume otherwise.

                          *whew* They might save the Twinkie after all...
                          Hostess Brands and the union representing its bakery employees agreed on Monday to a mediation session, a last-ditch effort that could prevent the liquidation of the company and save 18,500 jobs.


                          Perhaps most interesting to certain members of the posting crew here:

                          Metropoulos & Company, the private equity firm that owns Pabst Blue Ribbon, said in a statement that it is “actively pursuing” a deal for at least some of Hostess.

                          PBR + Twinkies, a winning combination...

                            Why do people even buy PBR? It doesn't seem to have much to do with quality.

                                Then why does Imran drink PBR?
