I’d be willing to bet that they just buy the name and the recipe rights to the Hostess pastry line, then run the production out of Mexico. They aren’t going to want to chance having to deal with the baker’s unions, et al, in this country.
Don’t have to deal with unions. Use existing facilities in right to work states. Run the place with temps if you wish. Unions are screwing things up worse than illegals
Agreed to all, but as Kara said upthread, Bimbo already owns bakeries in the US, and will likely pick up Hostess' factories as part of the deal. Seems they know what they're doing, as regards the unions.
Little tip. Use quotation marks around comments you paste into your posts, otherwise no one knows it's not you speaking. Better yet, use HTML to put them in italics.
