That's the part that stood out the most to me.
18,500 employees, 33 plants, 12 unions, 40 pension plans, half of 'em multi employer orphan plans, more than 380 individual union contracts, 11 of those unions refuse to strike or honor the Baker's walkout or picket lines, a previous chapter 11 buyout/bailout to save jobs, and the NLRB.
The "free market" had nothing to do with it (free market wasn't in operation here), Hostess was murdered by a few Bakers union boss thugs, and an unknown number of Bakers union rank an file members.
