Hostess going out of business

Re: Hostess going out of business

I agree with some parts of this, but then you would have companies trying to low ball people to below a certain standard of living.

Minimum wage needs to be set somewhere and you need to work in the confines of what system is already in place.

The system that is already in place then leads to problem discussions here regarding TOS.

That wasn't my intent or even close to thinking about that, but if people want to jump to that, no need to discuss it further.

Doesn't matter if it was your intent or not. It's a fact. You can't just separate it out. It's like having a discussion about bowling, but I don't want to get into that stuff about gutters.

You can have an intelligent conversation/discussion without crossing the TOS line.

I'll just leave at that and move on.

It fascinates me the way people talk out of both sides of their mouths (not talking about anybody in here).

Re: Hostess going out of business

WTF are you talking about? Interstate Bakeries changed it's name to Hostess Brands a couple of years ago, there is no more Insterstate Bakeries to want to shut anything down.

BTW, the Teamsters blame the Bakers union for getting Hostess shut down. That's another union saying a union went wrong here.

Simmer down boy.....

It was Interstate when I was in the bakery business quite some time ago.(Best Foods). I didn't really feel the need to have the absolute up to date name.
Whatever the name might be...the parent company(is that better) has been looking to lop off the Wonder line for some time. The same with the Hostess line.(and perhaps Drakes as well)...but only if they could gut it to make it more attractive to perspective buyers.
Step one in place.
...and do you think pitting one union vs. another is something that hasn't been done already?

Who shut it down.
The Bakers
The Drivers
The Parent Company.

My point is....it is not one union that lead to this as most news outlets and Hostess would have you believe.

THERE IS NO PARENT COMPANY, Hostess Brands is a private company and the only people who will get anything from the sales is likely to just be secured creditors. The current equity holder for Hostess is Ripplewood and they are going to most likely lose every bit of the $130 million they put into the company to gain that equity during the last bankruptcy. Let me repeat that, the same people who chose to shut Hostess down are set to lose $130 million because of it.

Maybe you should educate yourself before speaking about something of which you are ignorant.

Re: Hostess going out of business

Can't believe we're losing Twinkies. Question here on a topic I'm not too familiar with as it relates to unions and how the work in various states (even though I was in one with UPS back in early 90's during a strike even where I learned a lot on the ugly side of Unions, but that's another story). I live in Texas where you can get fired for any reason basically. Why doesn't Hostess just let the union folks go and bring in new folks and get rid of the unions completely so they can pay jobs in a way they can stay in business?

Tempers gone haywire in here.

Anyway...

Did y'all see Twinkies going for $150/box on Anazon? Lol. I guess had my last one.

That's nothing, I seen Ding Dongs going for a $1,000 a box on Ebay. And most boxes of Twinkies going for $300 to $600 a box on Ebay. Over 28,000 Hostess items being sold on Ebay today.

Hostess Brands is part of Continental Baking Company in which it merged numerous times after Interstate.
Get over yourself.

Until they part out the division and gain some of that back.
What people.....?......the corporation will absorb all the loss and none of the higher ups will lose dime one.

If you have one, you should hold on to it for a few years and watch it mature. Ain't like the Twinkies are gonna spoil.
