Hostess brands threatens to close company by Thursday if union strike won't end!

thats o.k. i don't eat 'em anymore

and i just fired up a factory filled with cupcakes to replace them

Who eats that shit anyway.

too bad. i feel sorry for a company that can make a product that outlives the company. twinkies will become the new gold bar

That would be interesting..

5PM Thursday? Holy Crap! The civil war starts over a Twinkie!

as long as the union reps get their dues what do they really care about the little guy.

Maine is an UBER Liberal blue state.....let it fail.
They have no one to blame but themselves.

When a union carpenter in Chicago costs $208,000.00 a year to employ (Just costs no profit just hard costs) you know we have a problem.

This can't be sustained for to long !

that company employ's something like 18,500 people so this is huge if they liquidate....

Twinkies will be here long after man has left this planet

Twinkie dooooooooom!

Well that is union Mentality.


Duh, uh,,,,well .....uh.....

You pay is this or we will just all lose our jobs and not make anything.


If I was CEO of Hostess I'd be like fuck ya'll.


Fuck Union thugs and fuck your stupid demands. Here is where we need to be to survive. Either you agree to make this amount or we all go down.

If the Union won't budge then fuck em. Nobody will work and we can say goodbye to hostess.

You guys know that twinkies don't actually have a long shelf life? Probably not, it's GLP after all, land of the morans.

This is the closest thing I have seen on this forum that depicts real DOOM !!!!!

Please don't take my Twinkies away.

You'll have to pry my cold, dead hands away from my Twinkies.

Anyone who supports unions today should be considered unpatriotic because unions are just as bad, if not worse, than the government and major corrupt corporations.

Sheeple love GMOS's

Economic drain. Less taxers brought in means less services

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

... maybe the importance will come ...

Hostess is a company that recycles industrial waste and sells it to the ignorant masses as "food product". Instead of expensive toxic waste disposal and clean-up it actually gets to turn a huge profit. Good riddance.

They last forever just like gold and are already bars.

Some interesting tidbits on the twinkie

Its not that the workers will not take a pay
cut, its that the company is pocketing their
pension pay and has already said they will not
be paying pensions--

We'll probably be saying bye to Twinkies but
I am not blaming it all on the Union either...

"The liquidation would result in Hostess' nearly 18,000 workers losing their jobs. The bakers' union represents around 5,000".

So the union types make up less than 1/3 of those who'll lose their jobs if the company folds. (But I don't think that will happen. I think some eleventh hour deal will be reached, much like the way the government 'miraculously' avoids shutdowns.)

If the union continues to strike we can definitely call them a bunch of ding dongs.

Farewell King Ding-Dong! Adios Twinkie the Kid!

Shut the company down, reopen under another name.
Rehire people who really want to work.
They will surely know who the union thugs are,
and who the deadwood is,
so they can start "fresh as a Hostess Twinkie".
Let the union scum go on Obamawelfare.

Shit is overpriced corruption. Amazing the ingredients the earth gives for free just keeps going up in price like it's magically disappearing or something. Those workers should take their frustrations out on the family members of the executives. They all deserve it.

Hostess Brands is a lot more than Twinkies. It will be a shame to see them go, and a bigger shame to see 18,500 more workers on unemployment. I hope that every union member watches this and remembers that the same thing could happen to them. The unions have become one of the largest drains on the economy, and the Marxist in Chief will probably give millions of tax dollars to the unions to "fix" the problem before a penny of unemployment is spent. Maybe the union members could go to Barry's house for Thankgiving.

They were already in distress...
