It's OK- they'll be back in time for Independence Day, at least. Evil, evil private equity folks, putting all those nice people back to work.
Just without their Union cards...

Damn you WSJ; making me pay to read your articles...
Weird- I got it through Google News, didn't have to log in or anything.

Maybe WSJ has a deal with Google News. Try using Google's link:

That's better, thanks!
I tried going in through Google news myself and was still rejected. I guess I don't have any street cred... or something...

I imagine WalMart was one of the biggest Hostess outlets before the bankruptcy. Not sure what that has to do with private equity or the executive bonuses, though?

Walmart is one of the biggest sellers of any and all junk food nationwide (and the average waistline dimensions of the typical walmart shopper backs this up
:lol: )I'm sure that one of the worries that the new Hostess owners will be having is that in the last few months that formerly Hostess "addicted" Walmart shoppers will have found out that they like other brands junk food snack cakes better than twinkies

Blasphemers! You will bow to the Almighty Ding Dong, and supplicate the Everlasting Twinkie! Thou shalt have no high fructose corn syrup before me. Honor thy cream filling, and by all means covet thy neighbors fruit filling.

I'm wondering if the no-union thing will stick. They'll mostly hire back the union people who used to work at those bakeries. Once they're hired, there is nothing the company can do to stop them from voting to go union. I figure it all depends on how they treat their workforce. If they treat 'em like crap, they'll quickly become a union shop.
