The Judge should make any deal contingent on Hostess replacing it's management with people who understand marketing and know how to develop new products.

All they have to do is put a protein bar topping on a Twinkie and viola you have the Twinkinator protein bar to give you the energy and protein you need for an active lifestyle.

They've now filed for bankruptcy 3 times in 10 years.
I'm sure they're just hoping for a bail out.

It's just a last min effort mediation. And there are lots of companies lined up to buy the brand but manufacturing is very well on its way to mexico

which is why the said "we're done, damn unions" it was a ploy to fool the public into believing it was the unions fault and not the executives who borrowed and sold and the borrowed some more going further into debt.
the old blame the benefits that make up for 1% of the debt the company took on.

Was that before or after management gave themselves massive raises?

I agree with you, what management did here is bullshit.
But at the same time these unions held them hostage so they couldn't move forward.
No winners here.

,,,and don't give themselves 80% raises and then poor mouth it! Much like the other big corps, screw the workers, give themselves huge raises and bonuses even though they have proved to be incompetent.
