Wait,,WHAAAT??The defination of CEO once you skip all the extra words to make their position sound bigger than what it is boils down to this one word,,,management...So this clown gets $60,000 just for getting the job??then $125,000 a month for doing what that 20 year old does over at Burger King??And you know they will get another bonous for sittin on their butts till the plant closes.How big of a cut in pay did the managers take to save the company??As far as im concerned the men and women who worked out on the line are the ones who made Hostess what it is or was,they were the ones who made sure that the ding dongs were manufactured which is what brought in the money,,not the ding dongs sittin in some air conditioned office.Think about it ,,the only ones who dont lose out in this huge cluster fuk is management.They can retire while the workers starve along with the company who makes the packages,the ones who make the delivery trucks,and so on and so forth.Im not saying that its easy to manage a company but $125,000 a month,,the police doesnt make that in two years and their job is a hell of a lot more important
Because there was no reason to keep the job. My opinion is that I'm better off looking for work and fighting to keep Wonder Bread in a union rather than getting what they offered us and spending the next five years in poverty. I would be guaranteed a 5 percent pay cut every year, and go from $16.12 to $11.26 an hour. It's easy to say, "Well, no, you should just fight to keep the job." The job I had is a wonderful job, and it will be hard to replace. The other one I could have been getting is not. There is a Walmart eight blocks from my house. I can work there. People forget we have already been made these exact same promises by these exact same people. They lied then. Why would we believe it this time? I have a total lack of confidence and faith in these owners.

Interview with a Hostess worker
Why did you support the decision to go on strike?
