The "TWINKIES" are No More. Hostess is out of Business.

Is "Little Debbie" out of a job??

.
... nice work unions ... and your next target is? ...
.

I guess the Twinkie is forever gone from my eye.

unions fail due to illegal immigration.

You have been LIED To.

Amazing how union workers would rather be unemployed than make concessions

I'm giggling my ss off. Not because Hostess went down.(That Sucks) But because of all the pro Union people.

It's like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders...

oh no!!! i see thin ass people everywhere....

Dang, I enjoyed Hostess products once in a while, Twinkies, cupcakes, zingers! they were the best, I don't see why we are sacrificing them!

New White House Petition Demands Obama Nationalize Twinkie Industry

dont worry all you fat fucks, someone will keep those snack cakes rollin in for ya

u fudge packers will have to settle for Walmart brand.....

wow guys.... this is big news! the only way to survive the zombie apocalypse was with twinkie rashons. WTF DO WE DO NOW

theres like $500k annual revenue gone right there...

Have people STOPPED using critical thinking? Why do people no longer think out of the box and look at ALL options?

SO, Hostess is GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. Now...they filed chapter 11 in January this year, right? YES. NOW...I know plenty of companies that have had workers strike (one where I live that has had a strike for a year or maybe two) and they have NOT closed down.

SO....HOSTESS is not smart enough or the workers are PREVENTING them from using TEMPORARY AGENCIES to fill the positions? REALLY? You are all falling for this? OK, so they announced that they will SELL the brands.....think about that for a second. OK?

Who is to say that behind CLOSED DOORS, there wasn't already an agreement to sell off the brand? They only needed a catalyst to point fingers at for an excuse. SO...perhaps someone made an offer to buy them after they filed chapter 11 and then they MAY have even lined the pockets of the UNION leader to do what they did.

Not saying this is fact..but damn it..when did people stop using their critical thinking???

AGAIN...they CAN fill these positions and people WILL work for $8/hr through temp. agencies like shperion, labor ready etc. NOT hard to do. Use the temp. agencies and state employment agency and even contact the V.A (VETERANS ADMINISTRATION) to fill these jobs. I do not think they WANT to stay open when consider all of this.

One last thing....I like how people fall into the SHEEPLE tramp and are AUTOMATICALLY blaming the workers for following the UNION directions and/or rules that they MUST FOLLOW. DUH! Sad though that they have to pay UNION DUES and be TOLD what to do, how to think and how to vote. Sigh.

Twinkies were no more when they replaced the cream filling with that rotten tasting marshmallow shit about 25 years ago. People like me who remember the old ones never liked the new ones. Hostess started making a shitty product. Companies that make shitty products don't last. I'm surprised they lasted this long.

lmao!

but ... but ... THEY WON!

now they get to collect their prize

The REAL Problem was Funding the Pension Plans that the Unions had negotiated.

These pension plans are Great for the union workers however the companies are liable can't keep up with the payments when the stock market or the economy go into these recessions.

Wonder how many other baking products Hostess owned/controlled?

For sure, they made way more bread and other pastries than their expensive Hostess brands....


Might just see a Big Impact in the cost of bread and other bakery items, or shortages.

Not like they had or needed 18,000 workers to make the Hostess line. Probably that stuff was produced at 6 strategic locations and mainly trucked around the country.

Growing up, I recall many bread companies that had fine products local or regional. Most are gone now, likely absorbed by Hostess or another large player in the baking biz.


This is not a good situation and much more is at stake than just Hostess premium desert/snack items...


Might be time to dig that old bread machine out and see if you can remember how it works...


Amazing times we live in...

There will be Twinkies.

It's a corporate shell game.

Bankruptcy, dissolve, "sell," and come up again under a different moniker.
Throw the thing up under one name with the left hand, it comes down in the right hand under a different name and Twinkies will still be produced.

It's been a common enough ploy since the early 80s in the U.S.

It's all about making sure that workers lose traction, monies, benefits, and have a continually shrinking quality of life.

If you haven't been paying much attention and seen this happen before, watch this one.
You'll learn a bit.

Good riddance! All about how NOT to run a successful business. How big of a pay cut should employees take to give their CEO a 300% raise?

I had heard they were the result of sky rocketing health insurance cost ! This will put 18,500 workers on the street ! This is the begining of the end for America !

i feel bad for everyone who has to take the 26 weeks,feel worse for the retirees,who busted ass made the company money.now its up to SS.my god their will be A cival war ,dollar will crash.9 meals from kaos,people will die,people will eat people.

well, Chewbacca wants everyone to eat healthy and lose weight. how do like them apples?

That's a LIE!
READ the article.

It has NOTHING to do HEALTH COST!

The UNIONS wouldn't DEAL and the Guys with the Money didn't want to put anymore Money into the Company.

The Unions Workers also went out on Strike at one point.

Oh, shit...I never realized they changed the recipe. I just thought my tastes changed!!
