    The end of the Twinkie

    I am NOT making any references or jokes to TTWarrior.

    But this is ironic.

    Hostess Brands may dissolve and with it. The treat beloved by the clinically obese and heart attack patients would cease to exist.

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-rt...fmsg_-7890|0|0@@

    Reuters

    Hostess Brands Inc said it would seek
    this week to liquidate the company unless enough workers stopped
    striking by the end of the workday on Thursday to allow the
    maker of Wonder bread and Twinkies to resume normal operations.

    Members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and
    Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM) went on strike on Nov.
    9 in response to court-approved pay cuts. The company, which has
    about 18,000 employees, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in
    January.

    Hostess said it would file a motion with U.S. Bankruptcy
    Court in White Plains, New York, on Friday to close shop and
    sell its assets if enough employees do not return to work by 5
    p.m. Eastern time on Thursday. If the motion is granted, Hostess
    would begin to close its operations as soon as Nov. 20.

    Hostess Chief Executive Gregory Rayburn said the company did
    not have the financial wherewithal to weather an ongoing strike.
    A union spokesman was not immediately available for comment.

    I do not want to be any where Near Rosie O'donnel or Oprah or TTWarrior when their handlers give them the news.. I picture the first Jurassic Park where they had to keep cattle prodding the Raptors.

    Interstate Bakeries/Hostess/Drake
    have been driven to bankruptcy many times over the years
    by the unions.
    Don't worry, you'll still have twinkies and big wheels, all the brands
    will be sold to a non-union company who will make them just as well.
