Message Subject 18,000 workers just lost a job Hostess just called it they will shut down

The Hedgies -- Monarch and Silver Point -- will walk away from this with TENS OF MILLIONS IN PROFIT, and the workers just wanted the wages and bennies back that they gave up 3 years ago to HELP THE COMPANY.

So the workers tried to help the company 3 years ago by taking massive cuts. That didn't work, Hostess still filed their 1st bankruptcy.

So even when the workers agreed to cuts, they still got fucked....tell me how this is all the workers' faults again?

Remember, management will now walk away from 2 BANKRUPTCYS with tens of millions of dollars.

You seem to be raging about a simple reaction by management.

It doesn't make it right but all companies do it, you will probably see starbucks do it in your lifetime.

Stop trying to convince everyone that the world turns on love because it doesn't, people work for their own inherent reasons, not to help the little guy. If you need proof, have you ever had a poor person or family hire you to install a new kitchen, or mahogany wood floors? Don't get mad think about that, it's a two sided duality of man kind of thing. A singularity mentality will never change simple human nature.

By the way, boasting on the internet about how financially awesome you are is a dead giveaway.

Unions---pfffft----I've done a lot of things in my career from construction to manufacturing and never once worked for a union shop. If I had I wouldn't be able to build a home from foundation to finish. I wouldn't be able to program and operate CNC punches, lasers and brake presses. I wouldn't even know flat patter development. I wouldn't be able to program, set-up and operate manual and CNC mills, lathes, wire edm's using cad and cam software, you know that easy SolidWorks, MasterCam and Gibbs. I also wouldn't be able to develop and prove fixturing and production runs from procurement of perishable to filing of completed PO's. I could go on and on. What's GD&T precious, whats ISO and AS9000 revC.


Why,

because a union shop would keep me and you in one spot doing one thing and never do deviate from that spot unless given permission by a village. FUCK THAT

All that and I never got paid the wage of a GM spot welder making 36 bucks an hour. Drones

"Simple reaction by management"?

You mean to go through 2 BKs and still "earn" $125K per month on the backs of the people you ultimately plan on fucking over and firing?

Sounds almost illegal...at the very least it's corruption unchecked. The unions simply wanted to keep it in check somewhat via negotiation.

Don't forget, they filed BK TWICE, and still took $125K PER MONTH. How does that math work???
 Quoting: JackedVegan


Dude, I think the 36 buck an hour spot welder is greedy.
Just as greedy as anybody who takes from anything. I believe unions are greedy.
 Quoting: MultiStrada


Many worker class are willing to work for half that cause we got a influx and illegals that will work for a third of that. Anyone working for half that will kiss the ground that they have a job. Its the real state of affairs now.
