[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1068933, member: 14176"] The Teamsters cannot require anybody to do anything that isn't bagained for in good faith via a collective bargaining agreement. I read the "article", which is really an internet column as well as many other articles and columns. This column was the only one that I read to make that assertion. As I said in my other post, if that was indeed the case that Hostess agreed to deliver each product individually, who is to blame? What maroon in management for Hostess agreed to that? Wouldn't that be mismanagement at its finest? Hostess's biggest expense was indeed employee compensation, which is not uncommon for most food service industries. It's not uncommon for most industries period, although that number is dropping in the face of technological advancements in electronics, computers and robotics. A company that was in a similar situation, for different reasons was YRC. The Teamsters have been part of the solution to date in a difficult positon, negotiating necessary concessions, leaving the company solvant. In the process many employees have been spared a trip to the unemployment line, and hopefully in the end will return to a prominent role in the transportation industry. Lastly referencing FedEx is grossly unfair in light of their unfair advantage over UPS in still being under the blanketed protection of the Railway Labor Act instead of the National Labor Relations Act. It is this distinction that gives them an unfair advantage and any move to leverage a larger part of the market may very well get them reclassified. That is why they don't make the bold maneuver you suggested. [/QUOTE]
