Union workers lash out at Hostess after plant closed… (went on strike – now they’re out of work)

Union workers lash out at Hostess after plant closed… (went on strike – now they’re out of work.) “They were told the company would close plants if there was a strike. They went on strike anyway.” BTW… “On January 10, 2012 Hostess Brands filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for the second time. In a statement in its filing, the company said it ‘is not competitive, primarily due to legacy pension and medical benefit obligations and restrictive work rules.'”
