@Ceili,
Because they want to stay employed?
Granted Hostess managment was terrible, but how did the worker win by not biting the bullet?
This is born of the silly ass notion our kids are being taught in school about
fairness.
Self-interest doesn't need to be defined, but
fairness does.
Is it
fair that the CEO made what he made and employees suffered what they suffered? Probably not but who cares?
A position based on this sentiment led to the end of the company and unemployment for the workers...but they were
right!
Unfortunately for these Union workers, their Union doesn't have the funds necessary to preserve their standard of living for enough time for them to get new jobs, (it was all spend on the Obama campaign) but who cares?
Fairness won!
