Arnold Ahlert frames this bit of news in a way that will appeal to anyone eager to misunderstand. National trends toward eating healthier play an unmentioned part if this unfortunate story. Too bad management didn't seek to diversify from artery choking, diabetes inducing junk food before they discovered themselves to be an anachronism of business wallowing in a tar pit of their own making.
How simple to blame the union workers for accepting a contract offered by management and then wanting management to live up to their contractual obligations. They're so unreasonable.
At heart is a stand against the ever steady erosion by corporations of workers making a livable wage. This business failure is the failure of this business, not the baking industry. The baking industry is not going out of business. It's quite healthy and those bakeries with the foresight to evolve with the times are growing.
Conservatives say business is survival of the most competitive, but when a business fails they look for scapegoats. Too bad for the workers but they have already made their concessions and they cant give any more without defaulting on their home and car loans.
