They can't make a living without a job, without a job they wouldn't have the money to pay for their bills or even their house and might even add to the growing population of homeless people. It would also hurt the states in which the bakeries or plants were shut down. Also, the liquidation affects the people who love Hostess, people who grew up with Hostess, and the new-coming babies that won't be able to enjoy any of their products anymore. The Union is supposed to help the economy, not take away businesses that will help it.
This conflict usually led to dehydration or starvation which led to the depression of losing a loved one. The farm owners exploited farmers in believeing that the job availability in California was significant by mass advertising their need for work and not having enough jobs for everyone migrating to California. Once the Joad family arrived in California, they realized that job availability was hard to come by and even if they found a job, making a living was going to be harder than they thought with the wages offered: “An’ they ain’t much work. An’ wages is comin’ down all a time. I git so goddamn tired jus’ figgerin’ how to eat.” John Steinbeck witnessed the struggles of American people during the Great Depression and wrote about his observations and research in The Grapes of Wrath.
