Free of Union Yoke, Twinkie-Maker Worth $2 Billion

With a unionized work force, Hostess (Twinkies) was worth nothing.  Today, without that unionized work force, it's worth $2 billion.

Twinkies never die.

Neither does its Hostess brand, apparently, as Post Foods joined the sea of bidders looking to acquire the snack company for as much as $2 billion, according to the New York Post.

The same was true with General Motors and Detroit...and the same will happen with others, like, for instance, Chicago.
