Michelle will be ecstatic. Her campaign is working. Nanny Bloomberg will be too

One third of the workers were union. ONE. THIRD. And yet they brought everyone down. May the union card holders in this travesty NEVER find work again.

Don´t use any hostess products, but this is
a classic example of Union induced stupidity.

Hey unions! What caliber was the gun that you used to shoot yourself in the foot?

The parasite has killed its hostess.

Oh, the union bosses accomplished exactly what they intended to. It was intended as a lesson to other companies: go along with us or we´ll make you shutter the plant, even if we don´t represent the majority of your workers. The union bosses don´t care about the workers, only their own power and money.

I pray the non-union workers will find work after this. I pray the union workers choke on their Twinkies.

You got a union now; you´re sitting pretty
Put some of the boys on the steering committee
The boss won´t listen when one man squawks
But he´s got to listen when the union talks

I agree with #6, but what they don´t realize is that they also sent a message to millions of union workers in struggling industries.

Unions just killed off another American company. Since SCOTUS has ruled corporations are people, too, I wonder if it´s possible to get the heads of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union charged with homicide? Worth a try.

Perhaps Mitt Romney could save the Twinkie since he´s between jobs; and won´t be working to save the country.

The word "Maker" in the headline strikes me.
It takes at least ten makers to pay the salaries alone of each gov´t worker making the same pay. Not counting all the other costs of running the gov´t and handouts, plus state and local. What is the ratio right now? I wonder.

Union greed at its finest.
"We can´t get our way so everybody pays."
Once, unions were relevant, now they are just evil.

They EARNED it. I have no sympathy for these parasites.

Another 18,500 jobs down the tube! There is only one sure winner in this: the administration´s next month´s job numbers will show a marked improvement.

This is just the beginning.

the workers have little to worry about here in socalist America the left will take care of them. the only suckers here are those who keep working to pay for a high standard of living for those who don´t work. you bet they will vote for the left in the next election too.........just give me mine.....

Unions built that closure!

Hostess is "too big to fail"! They just need an injection of government money to continue.

Maybe Zippy should institute the "afordable Twinkie Law"!

What do the Chinese call a Twinkie? Maybe we can import them...

Sorry for the non-union employees losing their jobs. I wish someone with the knowledge and experience would start a job force data base for conservatives searching for work; rather like an Angie´s List of motivated employees. Conservatives must help each other get through these hard times.

As to the impact of Hostess closing upon me personally, not to worry. I have a copycat Twinkie filling recipe that gets raves every time I serve it. Yum.

Looks like they are already blaming this fiasco on Bain Capital. Hence it´s the Republicans fault. They will get away with it too.

Poor Twinkie the kid, murdered at the hands of the union thugs.

With 0bamacare looming, union thugs´ demands and Mrs. 0´s rants about what NOT to eat, -especially sweets, what´s a bakery to do? ...´´Atlas Shrugged.´´

Bye, Bye Twinkie.
Big Gov´t.´s caw-a-lling you!
Byeee, Byeeeee TWINKIE.
We´ll all miss you.
