Hostess and Unions- Business

http://money.cnn.com/video/news/2012/11/16/n-hostess-ceo-twinkies.cnnmoney/index.html?iid=HP_LN

This is an interesting video featuring the CEO talking about how unions helped to lead to the demise of Hostess. They cite "crazy work rules" that led to high inefficiency, such as requiring a different individual to perform seemingly related tasks such as transporting the product and placing it in the store.  The CEO says that union leadership was rigid in their opinions, unwillingly to compromise and refused to return calls. This is an example of how unions are not always a good idea.
