Can't say I am happy about it exactly -- but its what the union bosses deserve. Wonder how many of the workers will actually realize that it was the UNION that doomed them to bread lines and soup kitchens? [/quote] JUST CURIOUS HOW SO? [/quote] Because the unions talked them into not backing down... because they insisted that the company was holding back .... The workers demanded $25-$35 an hour (twinkie inspectors checking the 'cream' level of the twinkies... $35 an hour for THAT?), better health and full retirement. The company said they couldn't afford it and the union convinced them to strike. [/quote] people would do that job starting at 12 bucks an hour with no health or retirement. those things are long gone when there are thousands of people applying for one position. [/quote]
