Ahhh what do you think?

Perhaps you want me to rally around the Commander... as the Left did with Bush?

No. Just cut back on the drama queen routine a little.

Seriously, if you run out of toilet paper in the middle of a dump, do you blame that on Obama too?

No my printer still has paper, so if need be I will print off a number of your posts and be all-set.

Comrade Joe Trumka and the dummy that heads up the Bakers´ Union apparently were clueless as to what being in Chapter 11 (reorganization in bankruptcy) actually signifies. It means there´s no money.Teamsters officials actually warned the striking workers that Hostess´s financial status was so precarious, that the company´s position was NOT a bluff.

A company that can't afford to compensate staff at prevailing rates must go out of business. That's how a market economy works. Not everyone gets to stay in business.

Well I suppose you can't really use your own posts since they're already full of #######.

Union work rules killed the company. Unions won .....Obama phone and 99 weeks.... merry christmas strikers.Main thing is the unions showed the world they will not be pushed around. Even as their homes are forclosed on in a few years.A clear example why jobs are shipped to china.

They should have just fired the union workers and hired illegals. That would eliminate that "Worker's compensation" cost not to mention benefits, pensions, living wages, holidays. Then Democrats would give the bailout money

Today, the Teamsters Union announced its recommendation to the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM) that a vote of its Hostess members by secret ballot should be held to determine if the workers want to continue their strike of the company and force it into liquidation.

On Wednesday, Nov. 14, Hostess Brands indicated that if it couldn’t resume normal operations by 5 p.m. EST on Thursday, Nov. 15 that it would have to begin the liquidation process. Teamster Hostess members and all Hostess employees should know this is not an empty threat or a negotiating tactic, but the certain outcome if members of the BCTGM continue to strike. This is based on conversations with our financial experts, who, because the Teamsters were involved in the legal process, had access to financial information about the company.

Michele Obama,Bloomberg and her Food Police are happy...

Firstly as Hostess management was giving themselves raises for an outdated business plan, they were complaining about workers making too much, the workers who are sole responsible for the manufacture of the product that gave these managers the wherewithal to be rich.

While the attempt is to blame unions for having several different working rules and benefits the fact that other businesses can operate profitably speaks of the likely incompetence of Hostess’ management, the management that believe themselves deserving of raises.

But I digress. It is time for us to examine worth. We have in our society those that managers and capital manipulators that we tend to give reverence to or accept that they are deserving of the income they receive. We must change our mindset. They managed Hostess but the middle class workers made it the company it use to be. It is the changes instituted by the managers, the deals made by the titans of capital that put the company at risk. Yet as usual they want workers to bare the brunt their error.

Even in the bankruptcy of Hostess, the titans of finance are likely to come out ahead as they sell off assets. And the middle class working will be left holding the bag.

The American middle class worker must reassert themselves. In doing so they must know within their soul that the worth of the guys in the head office is not more than their own worth. When one no longer worships management or those they perceive as more worthy, they will have the necessary clarity of mind to demand what is theirs and stop those above from pilfering them. To end class warfare you must win not only little battles but the war.

This is a story that repeats itself over and over again. I wrote the book “As I See It: Class Warfare The Only Resort To Right Wing Doom” that described many of these problems that are killing the middle class and to empower folks with the knowledge that will be necessary to fight it. The battle is more effectively fought if we know not only what the problems are, but how and why they came about and how they are best solved.

Noooo, this is all Obama's fault somehow. Your facts are not welcome here.
