R.I.P. Hostess snacks

100% the people lost their jobs. The Union that forced the issue was only about 30% of the workforce but the Teamsters would not cross the picket line and that shut down distribution. So now even the union guys are assed out of their own jobs. Shame. Now when is UAW owned Chrysler going to strike...against themselves??? WTF!

The job lose is what is bad. I have a neighbor that retired as the manager of the local Hostess outlet where she had worked at for decades so I wonder what will happen to her pension? The employee's will likely take a bigger cut from the company that buys Hostess. The companies may not even keep the same plants in the same locations so the jobs may be gone. I know the plant in Tulsa is quite old.
