It's been so much better run. Longer shelf lives meant now sold to distribution, highly automated, with about 10% the staffing levels (no more featherbedding), making far more product.

A true American success story.

The Original Hostess Union engaged in feather-bedding via discrimination. Different products could not reside on the same truck, at the same time. Like a 1950s Greyhound station in the US South.

Wasn't that the White House slogan in the mid 90s?

Union or union companies are not the only places featherbedding occurs.

Look at Madoff Investments. Everyone but three I believed even knew what was going on. Everyone literally just there because they are friends with someone or related to Bernie like his sons.
