All this talk of unions...did you know they only comprise just over 11% of all the USA work force, and they are primarily part of the public sector...and this precentage has been on a steady decline fore years?

Is it even possible for them to be responsible for all the ills you blame them for??

I am not arguing they are all good...far from it...but those off on this tangent totally ignore the fact that Hostess failed for more complex reasons...yet you insist it was caused by the unions.

Do some unbiased research and you'll find that Hostess failed because of

1) bad management decisions
2) changing consumer prerferences
3) increased prices for things like sugar, flour etc and of course labour
4) their unions not accepting a pay cut

So stop blaming just the unions for this...and look forward to another company making your precious Twinkies.

If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
