Miles;

My wife worked for them until about five years ago when she retired. "Cheap store brands" were also made at the Hostess/Interstate bakeries and labeled with the store brands name. Flowers bakery out of Ga may pick up the slack in our area. Last two re-organizations were a results of misapproations and poor management. Same with the union. GW

Yep, espcially when they give the store away to the unions...always

Appears that the same element (union voters)that voted themselves out of a job are the same ones that recently voted themselves out of a country. frown Gene pool has been sliding in the U.S. for a long time. The big influx the last ten years has lowered it even more. Fits into the Liberal picture, makes old Liberals look intelligent compared to the influx.

Used to be to immigrate to the U.S. it helped to bring a + skill. Now all is necessary is apply for benefits and cast a liberal vote, legal or not. Its all in the book "How to Destroy a Nation". GW

cross, ya think it's a conspiracy? Little Debbie, Aunt Jemima, Juan Valdez, I'm taking the whole minority, feminist thing. Poor old white Twinkies! Although those dark Ding-Dongs may be tough to fit into my theory. I doubt the MSM will follow up tho.

Here's a list of closings as of 7am Friday. 18,000 employees in total.

Plant Status

Birmingham, AL: Closed

Anchorage, AK: Closed

Los Angeles, CA (Hostess): Closed

Los Angeles, CA (Dolly): Closed

Oakland, CA: Closed

Sacramento, CA: Closed

Denver, CO: Closed

Jacksonville, FL: Closed

Orlando, FL: Closed

Columbus, GA: Closed

Hodgkins, IL: Closed

Peoria, IL: Closed

Schiller Park, IL: Closed

Columbus, IN: Closed

Indianapolis, IN: Closed

Waterloo, IA: Closed

Emporia, KS: Closed

Lenexa, KS: Closed

Alexandria, LA: Closed

Biddeford, ME: Closed

Boonville, MO: Closed

St. Louis, MO: Closed

Billings, MT: Closed

Henderson, NV: Closed

Wayne, NJ: Closed

Rocky Mount, NC: Closed

Cincinnati, OH: Closed

Defiance, OH: Closed

Northwood, OH: Closed

Tulsa, OK: Closed

Philadelphia, PA: Closed

Knoxville, TN: Closed

Memphis, TN: Closed

Ogden, UT: Closed

Salt Lake City, UT: Closed

Seattle, WA: Closed


Add Billings, Mt., to the list.

190 bakers decided they would rather be on welfare than to support the company and keep their jobs. Pretty stupid move.

The union wins again
!


The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Well, you know, Union leadership is only looking out for the little guy.... crazy
