The Bakers Union strikes have hurt them so bad that they've been forced to sell off all remaining stock and property. What a shame

18,000 jobs lost directly. 1,000,000's lost now that nobody will have a reason to work. WHAT WILL THEY BUY?

Insurance companies lose business, more jobs lost. Less people having heart attacks, fewer hospital workers.

Twinkies are the cornerstone of America, man.

EDIT- this is sarcasm.

The Board of Directors authorized the wind down of Hostess Brands to preserve and maximize the value of the estate after one of the Company’s largest unions, the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM), initiated a nationwide strike that crippled the Company’s ability to produce and deliver products at multiple facilities.

I wonder if the shareholders of Hostess Brands could sue the BCTGM Union for damages, since the union is directly responsible for the "nationwide strike that crippled the Company’s ability to produce and deliver products at multiple facilities".

Shareholders have successfully sued for lesser reasons.

I like how everyone is getting their panties in a bunch about the union but ignore the fact that the CEO got a 300% raise and other top execs almost doubled their salaries while the company was preparing for bankruptcy.

I'm guessing that wasn't a performance related bonus.
