[quote=Freeman]I'm not advocating eating them every day or anything, but Twinkies are great as occasional treats to myself. As far as junk food goes, they are far from the worst things out there. In fact, I've gotten a craving for them after reading all of the news articles this morning and may have to try to find some today. In this case, it looks like the Baker's Union did indeed shoot themselves in the foot. The Teamsters accepted the concessions after they realized it was make less or make nothing, and they encouraged the other unions to accept the deal as well. I do think unions have gone far beyond their intended purpose in many cases. I'm all for unions negotiating equal treatment, improved working conditions, and other job factors, but compensation should be driven by market conditions, not union votes. At some point, they will have to learn that the long-term survival of the company is more important than wringing every last possible cent for themselves.[/quote]
