The Troll


  Hostess Bakery goes bankrupt for the second time.  One of the things they make is Twinkies.  They have claimed that the unions for the 19,000 employees are making to much.  The union gave up over $370 Million in wages and benefits. 

  Also the company signed agreement to have the officials take cuts equal to the hourly employees.  The company has not tried to find new products that are not as bad to eat as Twinkies are no matter how good they taste.

  During the time of the bankruptcies, the company has gave the CEO a $2 Million raise and the other top officials a 800% raise.  How can a company that has been as great as Hostess Bakery have such a group of stupid and greedy leaders.  It's time for the stockholders to clean the shit out of the chicken house of the front office :rant:

I wonder what kind of crooked cop out scheme the republicans are going to use in squealing about the incumbent returning to the oval office this year for another 4 years?  :icon_twisted:

The company paid about $52 million in workers' compensation claims in one year....and I'm sure THAT was okay though.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

That wouldn't have anything do do with the unsafe working conditions, now would it? .........

"The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Interstate Brands, doing business as Hostess Brands, for eight serious and two repeat alleged violations of workplace safety standards at its Biddeford production plant.

OSHA's inspection found an absence of guardrails to prevent workers from falling into and through hoppers [is that a finger in your Twinkie?]; a locked emergency exit door and an exit route blocked by product racks; unguarded moving machine parts on a conveyor belt, band saw blade, drill press and other equipment; undocumented procedures to prevent the unintended activation of machinery during maintenance; and individuals working on live electrical equipment who were not familiar with the protective equipment needed for such work.

The recurring violations involve failing to guard chains and sprockets on a cake alignment conveyor and a packaging machine feeder, and provide personal protective equipment to safeguard employees against electrical shocks, arc flashes and arc blasts while working with live electrical parts."

Don't worry my friend.

They're lower level workers, not management.

Expendable and easily replaceable.

Lots of people looking for jobs nowadays, anyway.
Ignorance and fanaticism are ravenous. They require constant feeding.
