The Texas-based maker of Twinkies and Ding Dongs says the strike has prevented it from producing and delivering products. Hostess warned earlier this month that the strike, by about 30 percent of its workforce, could lead to bakery closures. It said Monday that it will close bakeries in Seattle, St. Louis and Cincinnati that collectively employ 627 workers. The company has about 18,300 employees.

Reality certainly is hitting the residents of Obamanation quickly. Who would have ever thought one might lose one’s job while engaging in a strike during a horrible economy? That NEVER happens in the land of liberal unicorns!

— and that we will close the entire company if widespread strikes cripple our business,” Hostess Brands CEO Gregory F. Rayburn said. Telling the unions to take their 'blackmail' and shove it. Good for them.

This same thing happened in Sugar Land Texas ten years ago, with Imperial Sugar world headquarters, and factory.. THe Union demanded a 17% increase and the Comp offered 9%, and told them if that wasn’t enough, that they would close.. Unionites told them to TRY..
They closed the whole damned thing down.. POOF! I live about 5 miles from there I could hear the sobs and whining from there for months, saying that this couldn’t happen.. but it did.. They’re still crying.. DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS!!! LOLOLOL
