I guess the union showed Hostess. The few dictating the outcome for the many who wished to continue to be employed. As a kid I grew up operating International Harvestor tractors and machinery, their union did them in back in the early 80's. I do not understand the mentality where nothing is better than something.

"According to Becker, most of the company's employees had approved an 8 percent pay cut for the coming year, but the members of the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union had voted against the reduction and a change in the pension plan. "

Now if any of you are serious about nationalizing the Twinkie please sign the petition at this site.
