Brand new guys are more worried about being fired for any mistake rather than worrying killing themselves or others. Its all perspective, unless you have worked at a place like this you just don’t understand the need for a union. Unions are not a part of the problem, they help regular people from getting pushed around by large corporations. They are no selfish or greedy they just fight for employees rights. Also anyone can get into a union its not like its an elite club. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hostess-out-of-business-18-500-jobs-to-be-lost/265503)._
