All Hostess Brands employees will lose their jobs in the coming weeks, some
sooner than others, the company announced Friday. The layoffs span
nationwide, and represent a deep cut in mid-wage jobs that often came with
benefits. The company had operated 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers
and 570 outlet stores across the country.
Many production workers earned up to $20 an hour, plus had access to
medical benefits, according to Michael O'Brien, a former Hostess employee
who had worked at the company for 45 years, in various sales functions,
before he was offered a buyout last year.

A recent bakers strike was the final nail in the coffin, the company said.

"Widespread strikes by the Bakers Union forced us to cease operations
because we can longer produce or delivery product."
