The bankruptcy court was the one that imposed that new contact with the pay cuts, and is the reason the union went out on strike. The union believed there was a buyer lined up to buy the company and give them all new jobs. They still think that, otherwise they'd have showed to for work...

A large part of it was Hostess was having to pay pensions and medical costs for a large number of people who had never worked for Hostess. Every time Hostess would buy a company, the union demanded additional funds for existing retirees from those companies, despite then having pensions already...

Ever had a deep-fried Twinkie? It's awesome. It's basically artery spackle, but it's still awesome. :D

Or what was extorted.

Yep, on many vehicles, but especially a Sprinter, a guard can actually cause more damage to the vehicle than one without a guard. Instead of the crash parts absorbing the impact, the impact gets transferred farther back into the vehicle, the driver area and the frame itself. Of course, the...

In all fairness to the postal workers, they aren't the problem, it's the unrealistic and impossible demands that Congress has placed onto the Postal Service that's the problem.

No, the workers didn't win. The text on the link has been truncated. Instead of "Hostess Closing Bakeries as Workers Won", the full headline is "Hostess Closing Bakeries as Workers Won’t Cross Lines"

Maybe, but it was funny, though. There are a lot of drivers at Load 1 who have never been on EO.

Hostess Brands, baker of iconic Twinkies cakes, said Friday it asked a court's permission to shut down the entire company after a strike crippled its operations. The move shuts down one of the nation's oldest and largest producers of baked goods. Founded in 1930, it produces such well-known...

I used to drink at least 2 liters of Diet Mt Dew a day. It was to the point where I didn't feel any kick one way or the other, and I could drink one right before bed and it wouldn't keep me awake. But now I'm down to 1-2 per week, drinking mostly water and some tea now and again. But energy...

I would imagine so, but my particular model of Garmin (c550) does not have the ability to enter coordinates, It doesn't even tell you what your current coordinates are (unless you go into the diagnostics mode and look). It's retarded.

You should probably see this thread, if you haven't already. I'm not sure I'd want to be so dependent on stuff like that that I'd want to stock up on them before they disappear from the market. If anything, supplements like that are designed to be a 'once in a while' thing rather than an...

Depends on the GPS. Garmins tend to be more accurate than the others, but there are plenty of locations the Garmin cannot find, but Google Navigator on the Droid can. If I go to where the Garmin and Google Navigator tells me to go and the place I'm looking for ain't there, and I've driven around...

Meanwhile the FDA and the FTC continue to let people advertise and sell this stuff, and eventually, when enough people are in the hospital or dead, they'll shut it down, and in a predictably too-little too-late announcement will loudly and proudly proclaim they've shut it down because they're...

You're not doing it right. Put more enthusiasm into it. :D

That's pretty awesome. Did you see the Finals? His music is incredibly complex yet highly structured, much like, as one of the judges said, Mozart. The similarities are striking.

You're a people person, I can tell. :D

To not criticize the government, or the military, and accept that everything they do is perfectly fine, is the definition of Fascism.

The SHIPPING versus RECEIVING thing has never bothered me. I figure I'm there for them, so I'll go wherever they want me to go to get loaded or unloaded. The ones that chap my butt are the buildings with no observable address or signage as to who they are, and the one Dave mentioned, which...
