I could live the rest of my life and never eat another Twinkie....but hostess makes the best bread in the grocery store...I'm gonna miss Hostess bread more than anything.

Thanks to the Union for standing up for your "rights"....hope the unemployment line is good to ya!

"Hostess had been saddled with high pension, wage and medical costs related to its unionized workforce"

Twinkie

Heard today they are being made (by the courts) to go back and try to work it out. Courts said they hadn't gone thru the full process yet. Also heard there are companies ready to buy them out.

When Hostess filed for bankruptcy, the company insisted that its labor costs and union rules were unsustainable, and it moved to renegotiate the contracts. One work rule required that two separate trucks be used to ship bread and cake products to a single retailer. The company also indicated that it faced $52 million in workers’ compensation claims.

With the threat of liquidation looming, the Teamsters, in an unusual move, called on the bakery workers to hold a vote to determine whether the rank-and-file workers wanted to end their strike and accept Hostess’s offer — or face layoffs. Last Thursday, Mr. Hall of the Teamsters told the bakery workers that Teamsters members could not believe liquidation and layoffs were what the bakery workers “ultimately wanted to accomplish when they went out on strike.”

But the bakery union declined to hold such a vote. The next day, the company announced plans to liquidate and sell off its assets.

Sounds to me like the Union killed Twinkie the Kid
