Chalk up another accomplishment for Big Labor. The greedy bastards kept pushing now they have NOTHING!! But hey, the unemployed union workers can get 99 weeks of unemployment, food stamps, cell phones, and Obamacare.

And 18,000 jobs to go along with him. Don't worry in 4 years, we'll be a third world country with Generalissimo Incompetente leading us over the cliff.

You can bet Wal Mart will sell a lot more of their generic Twinkies. That will piss off those unemployed union goons

Its hard to put into words how angry this makes me. So many jobs before Christmas. Very sad in the nostalgic sense as well. We all grew up with hostess in out lunch box.

The popular belief among people I work with and a couple financial guys I heard on the radio is that someone will buy the name and keep them going. From what I undestand the last shipment went out Thursday night. Then I was going to go get some and my mom said he shelves at Kroger were wiped completely out!!! Twinkie Raid!!!!!

And all that money Dems lost in campaign contributions and I bet the union bosses are so broken up over this. Krisy, there was not a Hostess Twinkie to be found at Wal Mart this morning either

I am sad to say this is only the beginning. There have already been tens of thousands of layoffs and more are on the way. Look at Obama wanting a $1.6 TRILLION DOLLAR TAX INCREASE on top of the other taxes that are set to kick in. Forgive my French - but we are F'D!

Don't forget the free birth control. Oh wait, that's Obamacare.

What a Wonderful, thoughtful Union leadership their Dues paid for. Just to get terminated because the UNION cared so much.

Can anyone explain what sense, or reason any Union leader would have to say..."Sorry guys. They refused to give you any more money. So. Instead. You no longer have to worry about more money. Your job is GONE!"
