Doesn't change the fact that there are two sides and everyone is blaming the union. - Krusty Nov 16, 06:23 13
- in most cases this is true, but when the company says "we need this or we are done" there isn't much room for negotiation - Beaker Nov 16, 06:29
- Without the strike Hostess might have emerged from bankruptcy and people would still have work. With the strike 18,000 people are now unemployed. - TWuG Nov 16, 06:27 1
  - right. If you aren't happy with the pay cut, then, by all means find another job. no-one will stop you. now, everyone has to find a new job - Andie Nov 16, 06:31
- Yes, the workers should be happy they had a job. - Strongbad Nov 16, 06:25 9
  - I'd rather be laid off or fired. -- nm - Krusty Nov 16, 06:29 8
    - And people wonder why unions are held in such low regard. - TWuG Nov 16, 06:33 2
      - Why is it them refusing to work with management and not management's fault for not working with the union? -- nm - Krusty Nov 16, 06:38 1
        
        If the company is in bankruptcy protection, don't you think management stretched as far as it could go? -- nm - Strongbad Nov 16, 06:42
    - Okay then. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 16, 06:31
    - well, then, if you worked for Hostess, you would be happy. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 06:29 3
      - I wouldn't be happy at all. But I'm not going sit here and let everyone bash unions when there are two sides. - Krusty Nov 16, 06:37 2
        
        Unions suck shit. -- nm - Bacon via droid Nov 16, 06:40
        
        there are two sides, absolutely. but, i don't see how you can think that the union in ANY WAY helped its members here? -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 06:39
"What do we want?" " More blood from a stone!" "When do we want it?" - TWuG Nov 16, 06:22
