All Hostess Brands employees will lose their jobs in the coming weeks,
some sooner than others, the company announced Friday. The layoffs span
nationwide, and represent a deep cut in mid-wage jobs that often came
with benefits. The company had operated 33 bakeries, 565 distribution
centers and 570 outlet stores across the country. Many production
workers earned up to $20 an hour, plus had access to medical benefits,
according to Michael O'Brien, a former Hostess employee who had worked
at the company for 45 years, in various sales functions, before he was
offered a buyout last year.

A recent bakers strike was the final nail in the coffin, the company
said.

"Widespread strikes by the Bakers Union forced us to cease operations
because we can longer produce or delivery product."

"The industry has overcapacity. We're overcapacity. Our rivals are
overcapacity," Hostess CEO Gregory Rayburn said in an interview on CNBC.

Yup. It's definitely the unions' fault that the market for cheap
preservative-laden food has dried up and that someone had to go. Damn
those unions. Next they'll go and figure out a way to ruin the market
for buggy whips.

Of the 14 unions(!!) that serve inside of Hostess...one of them
decided they wanted a raise.

That union ****ed 81,000 employees right in the ass..without any lube.
And the other 13 unions as well.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
