And when the company shuts down and those thousands of folks go on the dole, the unions can say "well, I guess we showed them!".

18,500 new unemployed former Hostess employees. All thanks to a single union (bakers) who don't get it!

I just saw a union vice pres giving a statement on the news. The guy looked like a total dirt bag. His comment: "We have other bakeries and candy-shops in our union. We'll try to place our workers there."

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

Well I'm open shop so you know my feelings about the unions.I'll admit they started out as a good thing but they have screwed themselves away from a place at the table.

Shut down the company, make everyone unemployed but don't deny the executive's bonus.

Two other baking business companies (read: their competitors) have already submitted bids on the assets and intellectual property; much to the consternation of the company, who had planned their second bankruptcy to dump the contracts they had to try and bust the union(again).

They went Chapter 7 this time (dumb), to discharge all of their debts (read: not pay their bills for goods delivered and in inventory), discharge any employees (read: get rid of everybody over 45 and cheat them out of their retirement benefits), cut wages and benefits to the workers they hire back, and take a massive tax write-off (read: beat the government out of a couple billion dollars owed).

I find it amusing to look at the various companies doing this on a regular basis. Almost 100% they have control of the pension contributions of the employees, and that money got "borrowed" for things not directly related to the running of the company. Well, there is the matter of billions of dollars of Executive Bonuses, like Hostess did...
