Hostess goes under, ACIN is sad :(

So to sum up a long story, Hostess filed for Chapter 11 back in January. The company stopped paying into employees pension plans in the middle of this year and was requesting that the union workers take somewhere between 27-32% wage and benefit cut. The employees from what I have read have not had a pay raise in about a decade, so the union finally had enough and went on strike. The company collapsed quickly without enough people to bake the goods and now it is gone, all gone.

I'm angry. Not fake outraged like I am 90% of the time here, but I am seriously angry. CupCakes were good comfort food for me. Hopefully, they get sold off to someone else and are produced again. My local albertsons had a Hostess deal of 10 items for 10 dollars. I should have taken the offer :'(
