A good article by someone who's had his annual salary drop from $43k/year
to $34k/year and Hostess wants him to go down to $25k/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.

Would _YOU_ hire a guy who just shot down his last company in flames?
Me, either.


I would have no problems hiring a former Hostess driver, if he has a
good driving record. Right now, I am not looking for a driver, of
course, so this is hypothetical.

Interesting. Would you really? If I were in the position of hiring,
I wouldn't knowingly hire a previously-unionized person (or other
commie.)



My surplus trading experience, though, makes me rather scared of any
kind of unions, though.

Smart man. Ditto here. I've seen too much for that.
