Somebody's a Turkey Here

Mike Lester, 11/22/12:
Let me quote one Hostess worker, a member of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union:
In 2005, before concessions I made $48,000, last year I made $34,000. ... I would make $25,000 in five years if I took their offer. It will be hard to replace the job I had, but it will be easy to replace the job they were trying to give me.
And on the management side? On Tuesday, CEO Greg Rayburn "asked a bankruptcy judge permission to pay executives $1.75 million in bonuses to oversee the dissolution of the company (and 18,000-plus union jobs). And that’s after a round of executive pay raises earlier this year."


Yup, that's right: it's all the union's fault. They were criminally unwilling to accept yet more givebacks to fund higher management salaries, so they're clearly socialist parasites.
