In a\u00a0 great article written by Mish Shedlock, he explores how in November of 2012, Hostess, the owner of Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho-Ho’s and other sweet treats gave an ultimatum to 15,000 union workers to accept pay cuts or get fired and lose their pensions as well.<\/p>\n

I have written about Twinkies three times before.<\/p>\n

Recall that in November of 2012, Hostess, the owner of Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho-Ho’s and other sweet treats gave an ultimatum to 15,000 union workers to accept pay cuts or get fired and lose their pensions as well.<\/p>\n

Flashback November 15, 2012<\/b>: Hostess to Liquidate if Bakers’ Strike Continues Through Thursday; End of Twinkies Hours Away?<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s do or die for 18,000 Hostess workers including 5,000 in the bakers’ union.<\/p>\n

Only fools would voluntarily vote for liquidation, but with the clock ticking down to mere hours to come to agreement, it appears the fools will win the day.<\/p>\n

The bakers’ union would rather have no job than reduced wages. Lovely. Good luck finding another job in this environment.<\/p>\n

I have little sympathy for those who voluntarily walk away from their jobs in these trying times.<\/p>\n

However, this is probably not the end of Twinkies, Ding-Dongs, or Ho-Ho’s.<\/p>\n

Not that anyone needs to be eating such non-nutritional junk food, but those names and recipes will likely be sold and produced elsewhere, probably at a lower cost to consumers, especially if the buyer does not have to deal with the bakers’ union.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
