Say goodbye to Twinkies

It sure as hell isn't going to be easy to do at $12 per hour when everyone within 500 miles knows they're likely to never get paid or a raise.

Isn't it ironic that the "conservatives" who were so up in arms about bailouts and blame the unions seem to be incapable to accept that management and ownership have failed this company? Isn't it sad that so many here and around the country feel as if everything in business can be fixed if only those greedy employees would just work a little harder, a little smarter and for a little less money?

Why not let's blame the idiots who bankrupted the place.

Twice.

Here is a question. If the company was so poorly run, why did some of the employees get together and open and new company and see if they could do it better?

There are millions out there right now that would love to earn 12 bucks an hour and work 60 hours a week. But the unions think they can demand whatever they want. Executive pay is just like any other pay. It is generally market based.

If you are a struggling company and you need to bring in top people to run it, you will have to pay whatever it takes to entice them to come work for you. This is a lot of money when you are talking about huge corporations. Why the CEO of Pepsi leave his 2 million a year job to go try and savlage Hostess for a half million a year?

There are a lot of small bakeries in this country. If you do not like your pay at Hostess, then go open your own bakery.
