"The industry has overcapacity. We're overcapacity. Our rivals are overcapacity," said Rayburn in an interview on CNBC. Asked if the shutdown decision could be reversed if the Bakers' union agreed to immediately return to work, he responded, "Too late."

Can anyone explain the 3.45 million the CEO got paid per year? I don't suppose the board of directors were making $35,000 a year either. Throw in a few Vice Presidents while your at it.

And yes I realize the CEO took a non pay for himself for a couple months to satisfy the unions a while ago.

Sometime I think you guys want everyone with no home, car, and insurance. Then you can say Romney would have done something for them. Closed a mysterious loophole or two.

Forget unions, what happened to "of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE. "

Need to change it to, "whatever the corporations want, for whatever the fed can get from their PAC's, screw people. "

Ignorance runs rampant in you're posts, very telling of the posters.

What if the top 10 people at hostess took a 1% pay cut, cut their golden parachutes a touch, and put the company into surplus? Food for thought.

It was only five thousand bakers who held out, but 18,500 lost their jobs due to the shutdown. If the news report on tv is accurate. So 5000 employees taking an eight percent cut on $33,000 equals?

$13,200,000.

What's the cost of pay, bonuses, retirement, and perks for the white collar employees?

Why does the guy making $33000 have to carry the costs of everything? Maybe we should all make min wage, that's $16000 a year! Gross. Not net.

If it was a non union company, they would just do it, and it wouldn't make the news. There'd be 5000 more people living at poverty level. Pretty soon we won't be able to buy the crap were importing from china.

After the majority of people get driven into the streets, and the corporations rule, like in the early 1900s, well have another wave of organizing. Just like then. And why? Because those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it. And apparently most here are of that sort.

Why is there never common ground? Corporate profits are at an average all time high, but that's not the workers business to worry about. Is it?

Maybe you missed my post where I said this:

Maybe the Bakers' Union can pool their pension assets, buy the plants, trucks etc in liquidation.......then run the company right and pay themselves whatever they want!

I say go for it........just don't force the taxpayer to fund the project, like GM.
