Its time for these sheep to understand that a union is not the Knights of Columbus or the Free Masons! They are a business! Created to make money. This strike is not a socail issue its about money. Republic should fire these idiots and hire someone who wants to work and speak for themselves.

I am willing to bet there are some mexicans who would do the job & not whine about it. Fire 'em all.

Unions are a bloodsucking gang of thugs that strong arm their way into businesses and eventually cause way more problems than they are worth.

What a great job of reporting. Who was shot at, by whom and why. Was it a striker, a union member crossing the picket line, any arrests???

Let Hostess be an example to everyone on the picket lines! Jobs are not so easy to come by!
