[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1056447, member: 24302"] Doesn't really matter what I think. FedEx with it's low paid Ground force has both UPS mgmt and the Teamsters worried enough that just from what I've read here future UPS drivers will have to settle for less. Those were unionized workers at Hostess so I bet they had a better deal than what we have at FedEx. If the economic reality is people are buying less sugary snack foods due to the economy and widely reported health issues then it could very well be that Hostess had no choice but to shut it down if they couldn't get concessions. It's not as cut and dried as mgmt is just greedy and doesn't want them to have decent pay. And unions are extremely weak these days. Constant demands for more pay and better benefits drove a lot of companies to move overseas. It's not alway the evil corporations, the unions bear a lot of responsibility for where we are at too.
