I hope this starts a trend. I really hope this happens to more companies until unions start taking a friggen clue.
You cant have a sustainable business, industry, or even economy when the masses are compensated on simply showing up, and not the value they add to said entity. Theres millions of qualified people looking for jobs who would be glad to teach in schools, assemble cars, patrol the streets, or even stuff a fried fucking stick with some cream, who would be happy to do it at a fraction of the cost and double the quality if they only had the chance.
Unions werent intended to be this way. How the fuck did we get to this place where people expect things guaranteed to them without any sort of incentive to perform. Its sickening really.
I also havent had a Hostess product in years, I will not be losing sleep.
Good thing mine are in the freezer. Only way to really enjoy a Twinkie. Too valuable to eat now. Let’s go to Alaska to mine for frozen Twinkies. Nice going organized labor. When will they ever get it?
Sad day because the company really was in bankruptcy and the unions wouldn’t share in the sacrifice to keep it alive. Cases like this make all unions look bad even though most of the time they’re trying to fight companies trying to make employees sacrifice so that they can make bigger profits, not because they are actually having issues.
In this case, everyone at work has been talking about “life’s little twinkie gauge” from Zombieland so I tossed that in google hoping for some kind of picture and found that shirt. Print, pin on door at office, win.
I think private banking is killing the US, nothing federal about the federal reserve.
Also the unions only gave pay raises while they were making money and could afford it, I do think its silly for some jobs to get paid so much but I do think labor unions are important. In the 20’s people would have to work 80hr weeks and some people would die at work from unsafe working conditions. The unions helped protect workers in dangerous working conditions.
I think if you have a skilled trade you should get paid for the knowledge and skills you use, but I don’t know all the aspects of all the skilled trade unions and maybe there are some that have some rediculous wages.
Remember the skilled trades have apprenticeship programs(5yr), you learn the ins and out of the trade. Why pay someone more for the same trade union vs non union? Well some people can get the big jobs done correctly without errors or other problems. If you have a skill other people don’t have you don’t just work for free.
