Union: 'Bain-style' killing of Twinkie
The Bain attack is back.
This time it�s being used against Hostess Brands, the Twinkies and Wonder Bread maker that announced Friday it was closing. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka drew the comparison in a public statement Friday.
�What�s happening with Hostess Brands is a microcosm of what�s wrong with America, as Bain-style Wall Street vultures make themselves rich by making America poor,� Trumka said in a public statement. �Crony capitalism and consistently poor management drove Hostess into the ground, but its workers are paying the price.�
What else is this ass-hat going to say -- is he going to be honest and say that the unions ratcheted the cost of employment so high that it bankrupted the company? That he put the union's support behind a President who is profoundly bad for business? That he doesn't really care for the workers, he only cares about consolidating his power?
