Yep, when they first made news of going under, first thing I thought of was Bimbo Bakeries...they did the same to Mrs. Baird.

The article says a "Mexican billionaire", so naturally the first person I thought of was the most interesting man in the world.
"I don't always buy bankrupt American bakeries, but when I do I buy Hostess"

Pretty soon you'll be able to Google "twink creampie" and this thread will show up. Google it now and see what pops up. I suggest searching images. I bet it's some delicious baked goods. EDIT: For fuck's sake, don't Google that at work. |

If Mexicans had jobs in Mexico they wouldn't be looking for jobs here and the illegal immigration problem would fix itself.

I immediately thought of Groupo Bimbo before I clicked on this story. They've recently acquired the majority of Sara Lee so this makes sense and no they will not keep the unions around.

Someone will buy it, the brand names are worth something.
They almost certainly will produce in their own non-union facilities though. |

Bimbo has a chocolate confection called 'Memin', the character on the package is the most stereotypical representation of a Black person you'll ever see.

We don't have to and should not remove unions. They serve a purpose sometimes, but we DO need to stop letting them use police force to compell people to do business with them. That's the balancing force that would keep them from killing their customers (the businesses they sell labor to) and it's missing right now. The problem is they have two sets of customers, and are focusing on the wrong one. They're just a labor co-op. Sure they work for the members, but the real customers are the businesses that buy their labor, and when they forget that, customers need to be able to quit doing business with em. If they can't quit doing business with em, there's no reason for the union NOT to bleed em dry. |

Those 18K jobs are ALL on the AFO/CIO and while the 99% fucktards are bitching about the 1% they leave Trumpka and other fucksticks alone. |
