I'm no fan of the Teamsters (despite being one), but they are NOT to blame here. They DID reach a compromise with Hostess. It was the bakers' union that refused to do so.

Was there more going on here? Soemething about the company not funding pensions? When the name rights are sold do the debts go with it or does ownershio get to walk away?

I think the whole story is important. The snippets are not fair and balanced or real.

How is it the corporations have such control over certain media sources and most ideological conservatives? American wages for the working class which is most Americans has been stagnant for a long time and yet the wingnuts act like it is the fault of unions. Below is a piece that disproves the wingnut mantra, read it wingnuts and maybe you will learn.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/03/magazine/do-unions-have-a-shot-in-the-21st-century.html "For decades, the growth of technology and the global market has created an existential crisis for U.S. labor unions. While the country’s manufacturing output continues to grow steadily, it no longer produces significant job growth. Factories compete against low-wage foreign labor by investing in automated machinery and implementing new techniques — like the aptly named Lean system, which focuses on efficient work flow — to make them far more productive. Since 2000, factories have shed more than five million jobs. Last month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that union membership is at a 97-year low of 11.3 percent."

"Such tendencies in American Life as isolationism and the extreme nationalism that usually goes with it, hatred of Europe and Europeans, racial, religious, and nativist phobias, resentment of big business, trade-unionism, intellectuals, the eastern seaboard and its culture - all these have been found not only in opposition to reform but also at times oddly combined with it. One of the most interesting and least studied aspects of American Life has been a frequent recurrence of the demand for reforms, many of them aimed at the remedy of genuine ills, combined with strong moral convictions and with a choice of hatred as a kind of creed." Richard Hofstadter circa 1955, 'The Age of Reform'


"Historian Phillips-Fein traces the hidden history of the Reagan revolution to a coterie of business executives, including General Electric official and Reagan mentor Lemuel Boulware, who saw labor unions, government regulation, high taxes and welfare spending as dire threats to their profits and power. From the 1930s onward, the author argues, they provided the money, organization and fervor for a decades-long war against New Deal liberalism—funding campaigns, think tanks, magazines and lobbying groups, and indoctrinating employees in the virtues of unfettered capitalism."
