In response to "they were in bankruptcy protection, it's not like they were recording record profits -- nm" by Beaker

Doesn't change the fact that there are two sides and everyone is blaming the union.

The workers should just be happy they have a job no matter what the pay? There's more to this than just simply blaming the union for shutting then down.

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
