Four Short Sentences Explain Who Killed The Twinkie

[silhouete2]

35. They had made concessions several times

And the management kept coming back for more. In the meantime, they give themselves HUGE raises and did not keep their end of the agreement to put in their share of the employee pension program. The unions saw that they kept on giving so the "company could stay afloat" while the big wigs gave themselves huge raises--for basically running the company into the ground. If I were them, I'd have been pissed off, too. I don't care if it is "their" company. You don't make money UNLESS you have a workforce that puts out your product. Without supply, you don't meet demand--and you don't make money. Pure and simple. Think the managers would go work the line? Hell no. Employees' work helped the company make money--they deserve decent compensation. I mean, why not just pay them crap wages like Walmart and forget about it? That way their employees can be on food stamps and then the taxpayers foot the bill. Yeah, that sounds fair. And truthfully, they were going under no matter what the union was going to do. If they had stayed on, I truly believe that their doors would have shut just the same. They had crap management no matter what. That is what killed that company--not the workers.
