The unions threatened to fine employees who wanted to go back to work instead of being on strike. What kind of garbage is that?

LOL cashg, again you have swallowed the tied fly of the propagandists...
the real chit here is that they went itno Chapter 11 in 2004. they waited 7 years and 1 month and went into chapter 11 again this year....
i beleive the law is that you must wait 7 years to into Chapter 11 again..they prolly barely made it the 7 years they needed...
it's bad management, not unions that destroyed this brand.
the fact is they need to be broken up this ain't JUST twankeys dude, they own about 7 or eight differnt bread brands- most likely? you have at least on of their bread products in your pantry now...
i checked, and found three in mine, and i had no idea they were all under the Hostess umbrella..

Right, but my point was the union was going to FINE you....fines as in forcing you to pay a financial penalty for the freedom to chose if you wanted to go into work or not. That does not bother you? Because that just doesnt happen here it happens in a lot of other organizations.
We can debate all day how evil the owners and leaders are of any business, but pushing around the poor and imposing fines if they do not do your will is wrong.

Are you saying they might have a few preservatives added.
