Alright I am on the union side now if this true.

They watched as the company illegally withdrew from all Taft-Hartley pension plans, saving more than $50 million in the first five months. The BCTGM learned that the then Hostess CEO was to be awarded a 300% raise, and at least nine other top executives were to receive raises ranging between 35% and 80%.

Since the company ceased making contractually obligated payments to the Hostess workers' pensions in July 2011, it has pocketed approximately $160 million – money earned by and owed to its dedicated workforce.

I'm not a big fan of unions, but that's not what did this. Looks like Fat Elvis and Mr. Flopnuts have brought some sense to the argument though.

I'm also totally shocked that so many people on here don't understand unemployment either.

You're ****ing kidding, right?

The contract calls for extreme wage and benefit cuts which amount to 27- 32% overall, with an 8% wage reduction imposed immediately. The company unilaterally ceased making contributions, required by their union contracts, to the workers' pensions in July 2011. Hostess has also imposed draconian cuts in health benefits and eliminated the eight-hour workday.

The CEO was seeking a $1M pay increase while asking for these concessions.

You probably should have been buying trucks loads of them then. They've been in a downward spiral for years now.

It is but this whole thing is complicated and everyone is to blame. Teamsters did take major concessions 3 years ago and they lost thousands of jobs and yet they turned around and took more concessions this time. The other union isn't willing.

Here is a good story about it...
