The "K" car Reliance/Aries flooded the Army back in the day, a couple years later they flooded the DRMO lot as rusting waste... 
Far as Hostess goes, goes the country... 
I figure unemployment (actual) should hit >20% by years end (2013)

There are some still around, the old M880 series. They serve the same function on base as any conveyance from one end to the other, like a golf cart. I recall before the end of my time that they didn't take a signal shelter that well & deadline rates went up.
As to the K-bodied G-ride, QP Old Dog New Trick summed that debacle up perfectly. (I thought it was doomed because they used to paint 'em that stupid minty green like the Class-A shirt fad of the time.)

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.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/busine...,3175964.story
"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.

Screw him! Poor ME!
A few times a year, I HAVE to have a Hostess Cupcake , well, actually two, because that's how they are packaged. Although they are a mere shadow of their former selves - smaller, coconut oil replaced with a lesser substance to satisfy the howling wolves of "healthy food"! Still... gotta have one!
However, just as valuable parts of General Motors would have been purchased by someone had that company allowed to have been taken into bankruptcy proceedings, SOMEONE will buy the name Hostess and such things as Twinkie, Cupcake, Ding Dongs, etc., just as the viable baking facilities, retail facilities, etc WILL be purchased by SOMEone - Bimbo, whomever.
That is how it is supposed to work, not government intervention.

I saw a youtube video with a guy learning he was out of a job from the news reporter and then went on to talk about loyalty.
I read, three days earlier, that Hostess warned it's workers that they would close the doors on any factory that went on strike.
If I heard about it in NC 3 days ago, what makes me believe that this jackwagon just learned about it?
BTW, the union did nothing, made zero concession, to save the jobs of the Hostess workers. They actually are proud to have "stood their ground".

Well, they are about to be short several thousand dues paying members.
If I bought the right to make Twinkies after all of this, I damn sure wouldn't be making them in a non-right to work state.
