It will be ironic but fitting if the rights to the Twinkie and other treats end up being bought by Mexican bakery El Grupo Bimbo through bankruptcy liquidation. Growing up in Pittsburgh, union people are the greediest,entitlement minded people I have known in my lifetime.
The only EXCEPTIONS I have personally known just happen to HATE being in the union and despise the lazy idiots more than anyone... (video)
The union people who are actually WORTH the money they are paid - resent - that they have to pick up the slack for the idiots!

They deserve what they get! The time for unions is long past!
Hey if those Twinkies are going to be made with real sugar and not delivered by a featherbedded unions I might start eating them again.
The unions don’t care. The real losers in this are the young people. These were good paying jobs that a kid with a high school diploma could get. 18,000 jobs that a hard working kid could have had. The young people should find George Snuffleupagus and stck a Twinkie up that twinkie’s donkey.
I doubt the jobs go to Mexico.
Bakery biz is all about relatively small local plants because of freshness and delivery times - Hostess has 33 bakeries.
The jobs will go to Mexicans working in non-union plants around the US.
If you were talking about the bread part of the business, yes, local is necessary. But for a product with a shelf life measured in decades? Not so much.
