this is the shyt that blows my mind about peoples perception on these situations... im seeing alot of ignorant talk about greedy workers as though they went on a strike looking for MORE MONEY... nikkas just tried to keep what they had, after already conceding twice...

Ho-ho's :to:

I may end up buying some and keeping them around. Although, they said that the patents would be auctioned off, so someone could come through and buy them and keep things going.

The writing was on the wall. Not even surprised.
That's too bad it turned out this way. Peeps at Little Debbie are probably enjoying this recent turn of events.

They were giving up a lot. a 30% reduction in benefits in turn can further erode their salaries....but it's all about "making a point."

:smh:

What were the company big wigs willing to give up?

From my understanding the reduction in pay and benefits is what the company offered and why the workers went on strike. I only heard the story briefly but it doesn't seem as if compromise was an option but I'll read up on it some more.

There's still some hope.

Going to gouge on the Orange Cup Cakes until further news comes in.



From the age of 5 to about 16, I was addicted to those damn things.



Moms used to stockpile them in the deep freezer.You let em thaw out a lil bit or put em in the microwave for about 10 seconds:noah:....the outer layers of the cake would be warm & moist, but that cream would still be a lil bit cold:wow:

Freeze one and throw it in the microwave for about 10-15 sec.....See for yourself


I ain't lying:mindblown:

the union won, the workers lost. I tend to side with the workers.
