Title: Hostess, Maker Of Twinkies, To Go Out Of Business; Strike Cited

NEW YORK -- Twinkies may last forever, but the same can’t be said for the company that makes the cream-filled sponge cake. Hostess Brands Inc., the company that makes Twinkies and Wonder Bread, has asked a judge for permission to go out of business and lay off 18,500.

The company is blaming its decision to shut down on a labor strike by members of the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, but Americans’ appetite for junk food has been waning in recent years. The company has filed for bankruptcy twice this decade, the last time in January.

"We deeply regret the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike," Gregory F. Rayburn, Hostess' chief executive, said in a statement.

Many businesses have faced labor unrest in the recovery from the recession as they try to dial back benefits and wages and unions resist. In 2011, for example, there were 19 major strikes and lockouts involving more than 1,000 workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, up from 11 in 2010. The 2011 strikes accounted for 1.02 million lost workdays.

The union said in a statement that Hostess made unreasonable demands, including wage and benefit cuts of around 30% for workers, while top executives of the company received large pay increases.

“The crisis facing Hostess Brands is the result of nearly a decade of financial and operational mismanagement that resulted in two bankruptcies, mountains of debt, declining sales and lost market share,” said union President Frank Hurt. “The Wall Street investors who took over the company after the last bankruptcy attempted to resolve the mess by attacking the company’s most valuable asset – its workers.”

Hostess, based in Irving, Texas, has 565 distribution centers around the country, as well as 33 bakeries and 570 bakery outlets. The union says 24 production facilities are currently on strike.

It said it had filed a motion with U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain in White Plains, N.Y., for permission to shut down and sell assets.

The company’s brands include Twinkies, Drake’s and Nature’s Pride. It also makes Wonder bread, which was America’s first sliced bread, according to the company’s website.

It plans to sell its assets to the highest bidders.

I have zero sympathy for people content to spend their entire working lives at dead-end jobs that require nothing more than a few muscles and a pulse,and then while they aren't getting paid enough or somebody is earning more.

If they want more money,maybe they should have taken a few night classes and learned a skilled trade or a white collar job that can be used elsewhere?

Then you will have an 'america' with just two classes and one of them out number the other 'big-time'...

The election result we just had will permanently be the standard.

Of course, I'm sure you are just fine and comfortable collecting your gov't stipends now...aren't you?

Not true. There are many people content to take those jobs and never even consider anything else or even earning more money.

You are probably right.

The free market works in mysterious ways.

There is nothing remotely 'free market' in extorting money from businesses under the guise of looking out for workers rights and killing the business, all the while the idiot workers can't compute untenable union plus extortion multiplied by selfishness plus entitlement mentality equals no more business to pay wages, no more job.

Seriously, do you left-wingers really and truly believe your lives for the last sixty years begin to compare to turn-of-the-nineteenth century blue collar existence? You truly believe you are all perpetual victims, entitled to rob the coffers till you and everyone else is impoverished. Your vote and attitude may yet bring back the good old days of the 1880s and 1890s.

Make sure you spell Twinkies correctly.

I've read that they'll be bought by someone for the Brand and production will continue eventually, probably with slave labor wages. At least the executives made out like bandits with their fat pay raises they gave themselves.

The Mexican market down the street carries it. Looks and tastes just like Wonder Bread. I'm surprised that it's not the official bread of the GOP and conservatives everywhere, since it's made with non union labor.

You haven't a clue. The Unions wanted to make more money then Twinkies was bringing in. The people work for what is offered or they don't have a job. It isn't any of the Unions business actually. And twinkies suck. They taste awful. Ding Dons are good though.

EXACTLY.

I was faced with that exact choice, and made the commitment to go back to school. That was ~22 years ago; boot-strapped my way along, working different jobs, typically 50+ hours a week...

I started out with a skill (factory maintenance), but I wanted more... I wanted a LOT more. Unlike my co-workers, I was not satisfied with a dead-end job.

The results are manifest; the factory that I was at, when I made that decision, has been shut down. Most of my friends from there have been financially wiped-out, lost their homes, and are in desperate straights. In contrast, I've been steadily employed, earning triple what I had been making (in inflation-adjusted dollars). And I'm entertaining the idea of moving to another state to take a C-suite position with a boutique company.

The people that stay at a factory for 30 years, and think they will never have to better themselves, never have to stay competitive in the labor market, are fools. They now reap the reward for their laziness- a pink slip.

Completely predictable.

The total # of registered voters (election 2012) was ~197 million voters.

Barack Obama: 60,652,238 = 30.8%
Mitt Romney: 57,810,407 = 29.4%
NONE OF THE ABOVE: ~77,000,000 = 40%.

The U.S. government no longer has the consent of the people.

That must be why Hostess was asking the unions to take a pay cut and spend more out of posket for health care.

It's series of CEOs all took their golden parachutes leaving Hostess with lots of debt. It is the purest form of vulture capitalism model in a nutshell.

To be fair to them,many of them are second or even third generation factory workers there,don't have much of an education,and have been told their whole lives by their family members,neighbors,and union officials that they don't have to think or worry about anything because those jobs will always be there and they will always be getting raises.

When it's all they have ever heard,was true for their parents,and all they know,can you REALLY blame them for not waking up and looking around?

Of course not. But unlike you I am not so ignorant of reality that I think management NEEDS to "have a idea" about what it's like to work on a production line.

What is obvious is that YOU have no idea what it is that management does. You are so ignorant you probably think they spend all day watching porn and playing video solitare.

Hmmm. The salaries posted were reasonable, from my knowledge of what similarly titled executives in other industries are making. I see nothing obviously wrong with the numbers; they're market rate.

I'm sure, though, that you will disagree. Not having any similarly marketable skills, you dream of such money while asking customers "would you like fries with that?"

I'm sure you'll bitch about executive management, while exhibiting gross ignorance of what they do, how hard they've worked to get there, or how hard the job is when you GET there.

I see fools like you ALL the time. And the only thing that disgusts me more than your ignorance, is your incredibly stupid belief that you can just *know* about everything merely by saying so. Feh.

The total # of registered voters (election 2012) was ~197 million voters.

Barack Obama: 60,652,238 = 30.8%
Mitt Romney: 57,810,407 = 29.4%
NONE OF THE ABOVE: ~77,000,000 = 40%.

Many of these middle-aged workers will NEVER leave the government dole under the administration's current anti-business policies.

That's the entire point of installing a communist in office.

war has to do something for entertainment; the voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.

What is obvious is that YOU have no idea what it is that management does. You are so ignorant you probably think they spend all day watching porn and playing video solitare.

And silly little you continues to show that you have no idea what you are posting about.

Yep, give the big guys a 30 to 50 % pay raise for running a company into the ground. If you 'think' that's an efficient long term business model no wonder you are still in school.

What pay raise?

You posted salary RANGES, not raises.
