Union Cracks Ho Ho's

[bigmack]

Figures.

I vote Union Nerds #1 killjoys of all time. Who's with me?

Some of the CLASSics. Yer Ding Dongs. Yer Sno Balls.

Sick bastards.

After Hostess Brands, the maker of Wonder Bread, Ding Dongs, Ho Ho's, Sno Balls, Drakes Cakes and Twinkies, filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday, the company's pinned its future on renegotiating unionized labor contracts.

Hostess Brands cited an inability to renegotiate crippling pension and benefit plans, which made the 19,500 worker strong company vulnerable to cash shortages and an economic downturn -- and were key to in its Wednesday bankruptcy filing.

Another case of mismanagement being blamed on the unions. This is their second trip into bankruptcy court in the last ten years. No excuse for that ever by any company. This not an individual who had something unexpected happened to them like massive medical bills or a lost job.

When you have contracts that are essentially unsustainable, you will invariably get poor management as smart managers will opt for more favorable scenarios.
