“If you do the math, the driver is making around $125,000 a year. wonder why they went broke?”
My son was top driver in his area and had to take $150.00 per week cut to keep his job. His retail sales exceeded over a half-million $$ a year for Hostess.
The drivers bust their asses for that money. It’s NOT the drivers fault Hostess bit the big one, it’s the Bakers Union.
i read that it isnt just the dollars the drivers got paid but the work rules requiring two or more drivers to do the work of one. apparantly each product needs its own driver and unloader at the retail site.
clearly its the union, and in this case the teamsters. apparantly the actual manufacturing cost wasnt out of line, and therefore concessions by the millers union wasnt gong to fix it. problem was work rules of the teamsters. good article on that here:
