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."

Questions people should be asking:

What new and innovative product has Hostess come up with in the last
ten years.

Why didn't Hostess try to make some healthier stuff instead of
chemical garbage?

Why are unions to blame for bad Hostess management?

"The unions" are not to blame for bad Hostess management.

The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers
International Union however is to blame for going on strike after the
company settled with the Teamsters, making it impossible for the
company
to continue operations.

Nope....

Nusinesses always have the option of hiring scabs where meeting union
demands is not feasable.

Believe what you want to. But don't come crying to me when you go on
strike and your job goes away.


I'm self-employed, you moron.
