Union Refuses to Blink, Good-Bye Jobs, Wonder Bread, Hostess Cupcakes, Twinkies
Every Saturday the Hostess delivery man gave my wife’s family’s kids the Hostess product of their choice. My wife always chose Hostess Cup Cakes. When she heard that the company was going out of business, she ran out and bought a box.
Interstate Bakeries told its striking union workers that it would close the company if it didn’t accept the contract terms offered.
I never could stand the mush white bread that used to be Wonder Bread’s only product. Give me more texture. Lately, however, my son likes this Wonder Bread for his peanut butter sandwiches. It has whole grain. It says sell by November 19, 2012.
The union apparently didn’t believe the ultimatum.
The company just announced it will seek to shut down operations.
