(EMPORIA, Kan.)-
Hostess Brands CEO said Wednesday the company will liquidate unless striking
workers return to the job by the end of the day on Thursday.
"We simply do not have the financial resources to survive an ongoing
national strike," Greg Rayburn said in a statement.
Workers are protesting a contract imposed by a bankruptcy court. The bakers
union has called the contract "outrageous."
A liquidation would result in more than 18,000 workers losing their jobs.
Over the weekend, workers in the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and
Grain Millers International Union, or BCTGM, went on strike at Hostess-owned
plants in several states. The strike includes workers at the Dolly Madison
plant in Emporia.
Hostess filed for bankruptcy in January, the second time it has done so
since 2004.
Union employees in Emporia say in August of last year the company stopped
giving them their pension earning. They say it now wants to cut wages by
eight percent.
"You put in the time, you put in the years, I mean, we all have dedicated
our lives to the company and they just don't appreciate it," said one
striking worker.
Steven Blakey says he he was looking forward to retiring from the company.
He says what's going on now hurts not just him, but his family as well.
"I spent 30 years of my life, missed a lot of time with my family, now it's
time for me to enjoy that time and I have to keep working, I'm missing out
on a lot." said Blakey.
The Dolly Madison plant in Emporia is one of the city's largest employers.
Tuesday, Hostess said it will permanently close bakeries in Seattle, St.
Louis and Cincinnati. Those three plants employ 627 people combined. The
strike is in effect at 24 of Hostess' 33

Seriously, don't you think it's time to take a shower, douche and look for a
job? I'm sure someone at the trailer camp can provide you with hot water and
the Salvation Army can provide you with adequate interview clothing.
Hostess makes shit and poison. That's why it is bankrupt. A diet of
Twinkies was even used to justify murder (the "Twinkies Defense").
Look at it this way:
Had Bain Capital taken it over after the first bankruptcy, Bain would first
take a multi-million dollar management fee out of the Hostess treasury,
steal the pension fund, sell real estate then put it out of business.

Other than the poster referring to the union members as "Obam Thugs"
which is perfectly appropriate (unless of course you want to try to
foolishly tell us that uynion members are not Obama voters) there is
no inference that it is Obama's fault.
You seem to have a real problem with the fact that the union dumbasses
are shitting their own nests so you keep trying to distract by
accusing everyone who posts about it as blaming Obama.
Are you really that fucking stupid?
No, it is not Obama's fault.
However the mentality of the union idiots that are willing to flush
their pensions and jobs down the toilets and that of Obama are the
same.
Both stupidly believe that you can just demand that any company pay
what you want as opposed to what it can afford and still survive.
Since you buy into the same bullshit then that makes you just as big
of an idiot as the soon to be out of work 18,000.
And guess what. All of your pissing and bitching and moaning about
how evil and rich you believe the corporation to be, those dumbasses
will still be in the unemployment line.
Hope they all have a load of fun figuring out how to go from a roughly
$1200 a week paycheck down to around $400 in unemployment benfits and
still live the lifestyle they are used to.
Indeed, if those workers end up without a job then it is their own
damned fault.
They apparently believe it is better to have nothing than to take a
roughly $2 an hour pay cut out of the roughly $30 per hour wage they
get now.
Tough shit for the dumbasses.
As the song goes "SORRY, 'bout yo' damned luck".

Friday, Nov 16, 2012 | Updated 7:15 AM CST
Hostess, the makers of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread, is going out
of business after striking workers failed to heed a Thursday deadline to
return to work, the company said.
"We deeply regret the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the
financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike," Hostess CEO
Gregory F. Rayburn said in announcing that the firm had filed a motion with
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to shutter its business. "Hostess Brands will move
promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling
its assets to the highest bidders."

8%. When they found little sympathy then suddenly they started
screaming that it was a 30% cut. (see the postings of a dumbassed
Canadian troll called "wy")
Now that the company has officially declared itself closed you have
another liberal troll, Amanda, upping the ante to 45% in a last
desperate effort to garner some level of sympathy for the union
dumbasses that killed their own jobs.
And they remain amazed that most folks have little or no concern over
a bunch of fools that effectively quit jobs that many Americans would
love to have for half of what they were getting paid.
