Twinkies killed by union…

The Hostess Company gave the bakers’ union until last Thursday to reach an agreement,  warning that it would have to move to liquidation if negotiations failed.   The  striking workers in  Maine said the company’s collapse showed strong union resolve.   So these 300 workers think they have done a noble thing by causing the other 18,000 employees to lose their jobs?   Yes,  dear readers;  that is how unions think.   They do not give a damn about  the little guy  they claim to represent.  The union bosses are blaming  Mitt Romney and Bain Capital.

I doubt  the petition  sent to the White House to   “nationalize the Twinkie industry”  will bear fruit,  since Our Lady of Perpetual Dissatisfaction hates the citizenry having access to anything containing sufficient fat and sugar to actually taste delicious.  Nobody beats labor unions at displaying  short-sighted petulance.    Many  will miss the  various tasty treats.   There is the possibility that another company will purchase the brands and continue to turn out the goodies,  but you won’t hear a word from labor if  the new owner,  without the costly and numerous union contracts which made Hostess noncompetitive in a highly competitive market,  makes a go of it.

But weep not,  Twinkie lovers.   Here’s a recipe  for homemade ones which are scrumptious.
