While Hostess was trying to cut Baker's pay by 8% and benefits by 32%, their CEO gave himself a 300% raise. Nine Hostess executives received 60% to over 100% raises, while filing for their second bankruptcy. Meanwhile, they stopped paying into the employees' pension, owing them over $160,000,000.

Why is this important?
It's all about greed. It's time the CEO's hurt when the company hurts. No more golden parachutes.
