    It's FAR more prevalent in the private sector then the public sector.
    It's also done a lot better on the public sector. In general when they see a TREND of decreasing need for money, they will make preparations for a bump. That way they have something in place in case the trend was a temporary one.

    This actually makes sense, because where would you put a windmill? where the est wind is. Where would birds fly? where the best wind is.
    FYI: there are difference qualities of wind.

    Temseter manamgemtn sold out the teamsert for a piece of the company. They knew you could not save a compjnay wher emanamgment had allowed that kind of debt load.
    Blaming the unuions is stupid. DO you now where Hostess would be right now had the bakers union taken the deal? bankrupt.
    There dept load was untenable even if all the union members worked for free.

    This is a long term management fuck up. And while the 'paid themselves a dollar' I can't help but note the millions they got through 'bonuses' I would work for a dollar a year if I got to name my own bonuses. Many CEOs pay themselves a dollr. It's a meaning less gestures when they get bonuses based on criteria they get to set.

    ""Here is where BCTGM can back down yet save face. They were unwavering in the face of a threat, they can proudly tell their members that they didn't back down until they were forced to, but they can still save all the jobs.""

    That's not even close.

    Upper management allowed equity investors it jack up the debt load.
    That's what cause the slide.
    Unions took many, many cuts.

    Based on the debt load, the bakers union did not think a percentage of the company had enough value.

    The reminds me of the 70s, when a company would sell key technology to the Japanese, who would then shut down the local plants. Unions got blamed, and the people who sold out to the Japanese got rich.
