Say goodbye to Twinkies

well when the press starts writing it up and fingers start pointing when it's a high profile company with lots of employees so I can understand the need to CYA. Unions don't want to look bad so they start pointing to management as unsual.

It's a distraction and simplifies things to make it a "my side" "your side" argument. The bottom line is the bakers believed they were worth $12 per hour + benefits, and the company could not afford to pay them that. Rather than take less the bakers said they'd rather take their chances in the free market, and the company folded. Everyone made their decisions based on what they believed is best for them ... the free market at work. Why is that a bad thing?
