A good article by someone who's had his annual salary drop from $43k/year

So instead he gets 0 a year. Can you say "Pyrrhic Victory"?


The people who worked for Hostess, like drivers or bakers, should have
no problem finding another job. There is a huge demand for drivers
and, I assume, steady demand for bakers.



Really? When they stated that the entire industry has excess
production capacity? Why would they need that more workers?

The other companies wouldn't need as may drives anyway. One union
forced Hostess to use separate drives & vehicles for different
products. Baked goods & snacks went from the bakery to the same stores
with two sets of trucks & drivers. That's one of the things that shut
the company down.
