Hostess Brands Employees: IT'S NOT FAIR!...

things are not going well in Ohio.

It seems the amount of food stamp benefits in Ohio is being cut about $50.00 per month per family.

And now a whole bunch of people are out of a job.

The unions went toe-to-toe with Hostess Bakery - and lost. 

From St. Louis Post Dispatch:
Hostess Brands permanently closed three bakeries Monday, including a plant in St. Louis where 365 jobs were cut, in response to a bakers’ union strike that started Friday.
The bankrupt maker of Twinkies and Wonder bread said it’s trying to avert liquidating the entire company, and it shuttered three plants that were no longer able to produce and deliver products because of picket lines. The other plant closures are in Seattle and Cincinnati, where a combined 262 jobs were cut.
“We deeply regret this decision, but we have repeatedly explained that we will close facilities that are no longer able to produce and deliver products because of a work stoppage — and that we will close the entire company if widespread strikes cripple our business,” Hostess CEO Gregory Rayburn said in a statement.
Wholesale baker Hostess Brands, which is based in Irving, Texas, filed for bankruptcy in January and has fought with labor groups over contract changes throughout the year. read the rest
Combined Hostess plant closures add up to over 600 job loses.

Expect to see a lot more of this...

Who do the union workers blame?  Why, the company, of course.

 Guess what useful idiots?  The union bosses still have their cushy salaries that you paid for.

It's not fair?

You were warned...
