In all honesty, their bread had already went bankrupt. I used to think that Hostess bread was the best but the last few years, the cheap store brands were better. miles 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

Tounge in cheek here... Strapping on my tinfoil hat real tight but. It strikes me funny that the unions bein in tight with nanny and we all know how much moochelle hates junk food. That maybe this was planned as part of her war on junkfood

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. 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.
I think, therefore I am, conservative.

Only one of the unions - the bakers - didn't come to an agreement. I saw an interview with their union guy and he said they fully expected Hostess to either cave in or sell off to another company that would give them a better contract lol.
No way someone is going to buy Hostess. What is going to happen, and the CEO of Hostess has already said his is the path they will take, is they will sell off the trademarks that are worth something to a company already in the business and sell off the plants/property for pennies on the dollar.
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 insanity of some unions is legendary. WHY would the union "leadership" opt to stay out on strike when a complete closing is the result?? A bigger and better deal?? Hell no. Now NOBODY has a job. Organize this idiots! Do the union bosses at national level lose their pay?? Do they et their own "Golden Parachute"?? Will they share it with the out of work folks that they so "ably" "represented"???? Inquiring minds want to know. Well, you know, Union leadership is only looking out for the little guy....
