Relax, Twinkies likely to live on - Business on NBCNews.com

Not for the 18,000 unemployed ...seemingly, they got their just dessert. The rest of us get to pay 99 weeks of unemployment x 18,000 employees. That is a very bitter end for everyone.
Still better than paying trillions in healthcare costs for the millions they poisoned.

I did not mention outlawing anything. I think the market spoke for itself on this one and several failed attempts at restructuring management. Yes it is a sad day for American workers, carnival vendors, doomsday preppers and fat kids around the world.

You must be joking, or drinking heavily. Let's outlaw bacon, Coca Cola, Pepsi, all sugar-based food, Canola oil ...the list could be endless.
Okay Zonie, I can go along on any rant or rave, but if you ban my bacon......
Chaos wil reign!
Bacon, the ultimate condiment.
Hell bacon makes bacon taste better!

And how much do you think these "relatively non skilled workers" make? Let me assure it's not enough to take 3 pay cuts in a row. Unfortunately the majority of these " non skilled workers" are route sales representatives who work harder than most people I know starting at 3:00 AM for roughly 12-18 hours a day. And let me also add the reason they're represented by a union is due to these corporations wanting them to work 7 days/wk which would blend out their commission based pay to an hourly wage below the poverty level.
I will wait for those to respond who are willing to take 3 pay cuts in a row, and work 60+ hours/wk to work below the poverty level while upper management give themselves 300% raises.Husker Z

If its that poor of a place to work and you think you are getting the shaft for the job you do, that's the great thing about this country, get a different job, end of story. And please don't make me laugh about union workers being forced to work 7 days a week. Every second after 5:00 is OT and anything on the weekend is double time.
Sorry, but I don't have a lot of sympathy for unions, especially when they strike like this. And, I'm a freaking democrat. Unions HAD their time and place.
