Hostess dicked over workers for years, ransacked their pensions, and ran the co. in the ground while execs made money. Good riddance...

Not everyone on Twitter refuses to see the forest (of unemployed people) through the trees.

18,000 people are getting laid off and people are like ,"good riddance Hostess, you make people fat". 18,000 PEOPLE!

This is a taste of the future people. With a second Obama term this will be the order of the day!

NLRB To Force Companies To Turn Over Employee Telephone Numbers & E-Mails To Unions? | RedState

President Barack Obama’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is considering a rule that would force private businesses to turn over their workers’ personal information — such as phone numbers, email addresses, and work schedules — to union organizers.

While this rule would be intended to make it easier for union bosses to organize workers at businesses that do not have a union presence, it would also have the unintended effect of making workers vulnerable to harassment... Read More at Red State

This has to be a form of defamation. If I were ALEC I would file a law suit.

...Frankly, I have a hard time getting my mind around this story. A teacher in a 6th Grade "journalism" class at a public school in Southern California distributed the materials below to students. The materials are highly critical of ALEC, The American Legislative Exchange Council, a membership organization of conservative state legislators. The students were assigned to use the materials to write news articles critical of the organization. Did I mention this was for 6th graders?

I have always been more politically aware than most of my peers. I'm pretty certain, though, that in 6th grade I was only vaguely aware of the difference between the federal and state governments. I'm also pretty confident that the material passed out in the class, written by a clearly left-wing partisan, would have seemed like gibberish to me. It would have taken several days of private-school instruction to even begin to make myself familiar with the concepts touched on in the document...

Jordan is facing a perilous time where another "Arab-spring" style event could easily occur. This can not be a comforting turn of events for the Jordanian citizens or their neighbors the Israelis who are facing their own challenges.
