Hostess Union Members In Action |
From NBC Fort Worth: Hostess, the makers of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and
Wonder Bread, is going out of business after striking workers failed to
heed a Thursday deadline to return to work, the company said.
“We deeply regret the necessity of
today’s decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather
an extended nationwide strike,” Hostess CEO Gregory F. Rayburn said
in announcing that the firm had filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court to shutter its business. “Hostess Brands will move promptly to
lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling its
assets to the highest
Hostess Brands Inc. had earlier warned employees that
it would file to unwind its business and sell off assets if plant
operations didn't return to normal levels by 5 p.m. Thursday. In
announcing its decision, Hostess said its wind down would mean the
closure of 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers, approximately 5,500
delivery routes and 570 bakery outlet stores in the United States.
Hostess suspended bakery operations
at all its factories and said its stores will remain open for several
days to sell already-baked products. In the Chicago area, there were
reports of Hostess products flying off the shelves.
Rayburn told The Associated Press
that there was no buyer waiting in the wings to rescue the company. But
without giving details, he said that there has been interest in some of
its 30 brands. Experts agreed that it was likely the biggest brands
would survive. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/NATL-Twinkies-Maker-Hostess-Going-Out-of-Business-179643161.html
And what really sucks is that the union members are out of a job but the union bosses are doing just fine, thank you.
The union bosses don't care about the employees who just lost their jobs. They still have their jobs in the union, living their lavish lifestyles off the dues of union members.
However, my sympathy to the Hostess union members who lost their jobs is about zero. They were probably Obama voters and they caused their own firing. Awww, too bad, stupid union workers. You were like lemmings falling each other off a cliff.
