Another discussion I was responding to made me think of something that happens all too often that suddenly is worth (I think) thinking about.
You know, take when teachers strike. When do they do it? Is it during the summer when...

It's not the first time I have seen it happen, and you would think that any union worker would have more common sense to understand it is more likely to happen when they negotiate contracts and put up such big fights for...

A federal judge has now ordered Hostess to once AGAIN attempt mediation with the Union-- which is part of what put the company in bankruptcy the first time-- so for the moment, Twinkies and Wonder bread will still be around....
