Union Strikes May Halt Twinkie Production

skam the twinki of ddog Mt. Dog ave

Ha, Let em strike. I say lock the doors, fire the idiot union workers & send em to the unemployment lines. Sell the company to someone that can hire new workers. Then Hostess can move forward making Twinkees, fruit pies, HoHos, bread, etc. without the union baggage.

Let the union #$%$ walk, and walk right out of any jobs. We can live without either Twinkies or the twinkette union leeches. Labor unions cause businesses to go broke, and this is another classic example. How about unions starting their own businesses? Impossible!

Toss the Teamster Twinkie makers out on their fat bums... the US can handle not having Twinkies and junk food.

Just tell them to get off their dam* Hostess Ding Dongs and make the twinkies already! Geeze! You would think these guys want to get paid for doing nothing. Don't forget the Cupcakes.

Local Lard #$%$ 214 has a lot of nerve.

it's ok, it's not like the ingredients are going to go bad during a strike. Take your time, knock yourself out.

You have to have something the public wants if you want to threaten a strike. I love Twinkies but I haven't had one in ten years. I don't think I'll be racing out to buy them when they cost $10 a box because the union won't compromise. All I have to say is the government better not do a bail out when the company goes under.

Let them strike but they better not get unemployment benies on the taxpayer. Hostess can fire them all and hire non-union folks who will gladly take those jobs. There are millions of folks who actually want and need jobs. Note to the Teamsters: Pensions are a thing of the past. People should pay into their own 401K these days with perhaps a company match. Also, health care costs have skyrocketed and employees have to shoulder part of that burden. You consume, you pay.

If the company is asking for these measures from its employees, the cost cutting measures should apply to upper management as well. If Hostess wants to show its employees it is serious about cutting costs, the wage freeze and reduction of benefits should start at the top.

good! let those stuid teASS'uns go back to raping the cattle!!

well this union shut down little debbie--- so goes twinkies too !!!!!!! just as long as they support our lovely president is all that really counts !!!!!!!

Nice to see all the hillbilly anti union crowd roaring there ugly face again.You take time from flippin your hamburgers to post your goofy post.Maybe if you learn your numbers you can have a big boy union job.Stupid idiots !

Call the guys who used to work for Caterpillar in PA years ago, how a strike when the company was falling on bad times worked out. Walked the line for almost a year... before moving on to the Gov Cheese line. A five year freeze, pension cut & paying something towards health-care is better than NO JOB in everyone's mend... except a union mind. If they prefer no job... so be it.

OMG!!! WHAT?? This is outrageous!! what is the world going to do without Twinkies!!!!!!

What is a HO..HO..???? LMAO...

Don't buy any Hostoss products. They are over priced anyway.

The Hostess management really has fallen down on the job, all they had to do is give a couple million to President Obama's campaign and they would have been rewarded with gobs and gobs of taxpayer money.

You know what happens when a union strikes on a bankrupt company in a recession. The company folds from lack of financial support from the banks or the company just locks the doors breaks the union and moves to another state. At this time in this country some groups just need to shut up and smile that they have a job.

Stop making twinkies??? Sounds like we'll be having "National Get Healthy week"
