Former Hostess Employees Bitter About Wage Cuts (fork lift operator- $11 an hour)

18. why should they they are a business

It is not their job to keep wages artificially high or to continue to pay a rate that the market wont bare.

MAybe people shopping aren't willing to pay $1 more to buy twinkes made by higher paid workers. Maybe the competition from foreign made store brands has push the market for twinkes to the max price people are willing to pay for them.

Not all jobs stay at a pay rate or go up forever.

I wont blame the new company for the old company's policies. Its simple choice old company went belly up and left the unions and people with ZERO jobs. A new company comes in and offers jobs. Maybe they don't pay as well and maybe the benefits are not as good but its not a mark against the new company. Heck i know many jobs and professions that pay less now than what they did 5-10 years ago.
