Judge approves Hostess' plan to shutdown


Mexican twinkies

We should welcome our new Mexican Twinkie overlords.

I wonder if the ding-dong union leader that claimed relief that its over is still relieved.

I don't see why any company would want to form in a state that wasn't a right to work

Hostess did not get a bailout.. If it was a car company obama would have been at the door helping..

What's amazing about this whole thing is that of the 18,500 employees, only about 6,700 are union. I don't understand why any company would locate in any state that wasn't a right to work state.

Judge converted them all to laid off status.

Turns out that the 19 corporate positions tripled their salary and gave themselves bonuses shortly before asking the rank and file to take an 8% reduction across the board.

Now you know why the union members rejected managements request to take a 8% haircut when they more than tripled executive salaries.

Yep. Know a guy that drives a Hostess truck and that is what he told me. Pretty fricking sleazy.

Yes they are much better off having rejected the offer.
