    A judge gave the club owners permission to open the doors Friday afternoon.

(WMC-TV) - This week's "Your Turn" segment comes from the Action News 5 Facebook page where there's a lively debate about the Hostess Brands closing. Some people are blaming corporate greed; others are blaming Obamacare.

We chose a letter from Kimberly Dunaway. She's blaming the unions. In her words:

"It is the fault of unions pushing for more money during tough times. Just like the auto industry, you can't expect someone who just turns a screw to continue making $25.00 an hour and then they say they deserve $35.00 an hour when the industry is already having issues. Unions are out for unions and they don't care about the ones who are affected by their actions whether they are union or not. People now have very little grasp on how economics works. You cannot get blood from a turnip no matter how hard you squeeze."

That's Kimberly Dunaway's turn. Now it's your turn. To comment on this segment or anything else, email yourturn@wmctv.com or call 800-465-1210.
