Editor,
The Standard-Examiner editorial board, not the unions, is in an alternate reality (Nov. 21, "Our View: Unions in an alternate reality"). Did the paper bother to do any research at all? If it had, it would have found out that Hostess executives’ salaries were raised anywhere from 60-100 percent at the time they were beginning the process the filing for their second bankruptcy. This, while trying to cut workers’ pensions by 75 percent, health benefits by 17 percent and pay by 8 percent.
