Too bad they're in IL. WI would be a better choice.

RE: Hostess back, sans union
Fox reported on this this morning. Said one of the big problems with the unions involved having to send two trucks to make deliveries along the same route due to union regulations. Of course this caused costs to skyrocket, helping facilitate the need for the sale of the company and relocation to right-to-work states in order to be competitive.

Once this case is finished and closed, it should be studied closely and objectively to understand what role unions play in modern business models.

Interesting side note. Apparently "Dongs" is censored on yahoo comments.

Whoaaaaa, has Obama's DoL heard about this? They just might call this a retaliatory action against the unions and muck up the whole thing.

Yeah, it is great that the new workers will have to live on welfare. 02-13-banana 01-wingedeagle

Btw, why would Wi have been a better choice? THeir tax rate is higher and they got rid of the Union so why does it matter?

Btw II. I know someone who's father worked for Hostess. Sounds like he will be getting his pension.

I'll lift one to that. Better to have a chance of owning a corporation and being part owner
than to abide by the New World Order and cow-tow to the Socialist doctrine of share other people's wealth.
