Lost my taste for Twinkies

When I was a child, Twinkies were great. A treat I valued.

Now that I’m an adult, Twinkies are not so great. The upper management of the company that makes Twinkies, Hostess Brands Inc., paid millions in bonuses to themselves, then threatened workers with loss of their jobs and company bankruptcy if workers did not accept.

My hope is for a standard by which bosses and workers realize their need for each other and by treating each another as contributors — a team together — they commit themselves to create a great product for American consumers.
