While there may have been some attempt by the union

particularly on Capital Gains may have had more to do with
liquidation at this time than any union "interagency."


Tell me, George. If you were the HR director of a company and you
had the choice between applicants with similar backgrounds would you
hire the one from Hostess who refused to go back to work, or another
applicant?
