IIRC, Little Debbies is a non union company too.

Waiting for the NLRB to kill this in 10...9...8...7....

The company will get Drake's brands and equipment if the judge approves the sale.

And not the unionized workforce.

In other news the unions expect this threat to be just another step Hostess executives are taking to ensure their million dollar golden parachutes at the expense of the working man.

Apollo Global has tentatively won ding dongs, twinkies, ho hos, etc. (Depends on the bankruptcy judge)

Little Debbie is a privately owned business that has no union.

The unions have definitely lost this round.

Little Debbie makes some great stuff.

Nutty Buddy’s placed in the freezer are a fave of mine.

I like Little Debbies but only so much. I eat some in the evening because they are one of the few things which do not bother my stomach at night.

I have noticed they have raised their prices twice in the last year or so.
