   The unions did NOT kill the Twinkie, the greedy CEOs killed the twinkie.

   Sorry, No. The unions demanded (among many other costly and expensive things) separate bread and sweets trucks and separate delivery people, making Hostess non-competitive. The “greedy” CEO is one person and one salary. The thousands of money-sucking union members bled the company dry.

   Yeah, the cost conscious CEO only tripled his salary to $2.5M while preparing to file bankruptcy. Not that that will change the opinion of old gutter mouth.

   But the union doubled the cost of delivery, which outweighs one salary. And that does not include any of the additional benefit costs. Have you ever wondered why a car costs so much?

   That’s why Santa’s $10,000 sleigh cost him $28,000

    Excuse me, but this Wall Street Journal (not exactly union friendly) article makes no mention of your cost of delivery claim. The CEO, who tripled his own salary and doubled other executive salaries, imposed an 8% wage reduction and pension-plan reductions on bakers, causing them to walk off the job. What valid source do you have for your claim?

    It seems to me the real point is that management cut worker’s salaries while tripling their own. That doesn’t exactly reflect a desire to save the company money, regardless of the relative amounts.

    It’s always pretty brazen that the reindeer (workers) think they own the company to the point of dictating to Santa (boss/owners) how the company should be run. If they want to be entitled to run a company they should quit and start their OWN company and then compete with Santa. Santa should fire their candy cane butts and hire plenty of new reindeer that’d LOVE to have a job at all!

    Without workers, there is no company. Employer and employee must get along together. If employee cannot make a living wage, he/she has no choice but to either ask for more or move on. If owner/employer cannot make a reasonable return on investment, then he/she needs to draw money out and put it in a different investment. End result of either action can mean the end of the company. The real problem exists when either side thinks only their opinion matters and has no respect for the other side

    Of course you need workers, but when it gets to the point to where workers get so demanding I believe that they should be fired. Like I said, there’s PLENTY of other people that would love to take their place for even a lower paying salary!
