Say goodbye to Twinkies

I do not disagree that the company was mismanaged. Let's look at 2 of the options and my thought. The company offered the union a stake in the company as well as 2 more seats on the board. Why not ask for more stake? I'm not sure of the logistics involved but why not be a union owned company? I do not blame the unions for the history of what has happened to this company. My blame is teamsters told the union members they should take this deal and the members said no. Now 18,000 people are unemployed. We have a grocery store down the road, really big store, that is employee owned and operated. The do great their, don't accept credit cards, have great prices and good products. Why couldn't this have happened with this company?

Sigh. Whether its this situation or the NFL labor strife, why the heck do people think that the same physics that apply to your neighborhood grocery store or your wife's nail salon job apply to everything else??

Cool story. Hostess should consult your corner grocery.
