Hostess to immediately close three Plants across the country in wake of strike.

aka "The Jackal"
Hostess announced today that it would permanently close plants in Seattle, St. Louis, and Cincinnati effective today. This is in response to Friday's nationwide strike against the floundering company by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union when negotiations failed to reach a new contract agreement. Hostess needs to gain concessions from the union to avoid bankruptcy. It is the opinion of Hostess/Wonder Bread management that the union is willing to sacrifice Hostess employees to prevent other larger baking companies from seeking similar concessions. This first round of closures will effect over 600 full time employees.

The Teamster's Union, which also serves Hostess, has so far refused to honor the strike and will continue to handle and deliver Hostess products until it reviews the situation.

I bet they have a hard time paying the tax for the mandated health care insurance though. Sucks to be them! :whistle :Ninja

My Uncle worked for Hostess for many years. He was a member of the teamsters because he drove a delivery truck. The last 10 years he worked there he got 16, yes 16, weeks paid vacation great health insurance and a HUGE pension. No wonder they are broke.

My kids are constantly fussing about the "First Lady". :rant As well as most of my son's football team. School lunch has gone from bad to worse, only now there is less of it.
 
POWER TO THE UNIONS! Power to cause their own places of employment to go out of business! If more businesses under the control did this or moved to Right to Work states like GA, our state and that business would be better off!
