Hostess Brands Inc. is permanently closing three bakeries following a nationwide strike by its bakers union.
The maker of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread said Monday that the strike has prevented it from producing and delivering products, and it is closing bakeries in Seattle, St. Louis and Cincinnati. The facilities employ 627 workers.
Hostess, based in Irving, Texas, operates 36 bakeries nationwide and has about 18,300 employees. It warned earlier this month that the strike, by about 30 percent of its workforce, could lead to bakery closures.
Will Wal Mart do the same?
ReplyDeleteunions cause this.
ReplyDeleteGreat. People that join unions deserve what they get if the strike and less junk food is good for everyone.
ReplyDeleteHad they legalized marijuana sooner this would not have happened.
ReplyDeleteIt's what the Government wants. More people on Government assistance means more votes for Democrats.
ReplyDeleteYay! I win! I am the first to blame Obama for this!
ReplyDeleteif you strike, you must not need to work, so whats the difference?
ReplyDeleteHow can an union not understand that if a company is in Chapter 11 they are probably out of money. You can't get more when the well is dry. Ask Dresser and Crown,Cork and Seal employees what happens when you push too far.
ReplyDeleteLOL-11:05....it took me second to get it though!
ReplyDeleteAnother major victory for the unions. Go on with your bad selves,take care of those union workers.
