By "professional bakers" they mean "union bakers."
Too bad, so sad.

Hostess management has chosen instead to hire primarily workers with little or no experience in the demanding wholesale snack cake baking industry. Only a union hack would imagine that this made any sense.

In order to support pResident 0bungle’s immigration reform goals they have decided to hire only illegal aliens. There are no pressing reasons to pander to unions at this point in time.

If theyre good, people will buy them. They'll be good.
After all, they have three of the four basic good groups (sugar, salt, fat and caffeine).

The new Hostess cakes company will face some competition on their snack cakes as other companies have come into the market with snack cakes very similar to the old Hostess products. Some consumers have tried the replacements and found them very tasty.

This union thug and his fellow thugs are the ones who put Hostess out
of business. Why would the new owners want to be out out of business
as well. As a wise freeper just posted, It ain’t rocket science.
We might even see lower Twinkie prices without the cost of the
expensive labor thug.
To: mdittmar
Not to belittled hard working Bakers but:
Put in the amount of pre packed shortening,proper weight of flour, sugar, etc. mix ingredients for specified time, load into automatic machinery. At end of baking cycle watch as product moves to cooling area then packaging machinery. At this point “skilled” workers manually box product that is then finish packed in automatic machinery and palletized. Finally “skilled” employees move pallets into warehouse.

After all, they have three of the four basic good groups (sugar, salt, fat and caffeine). I'm sure you meant food groups. But in fact there are 5 basic food groups: Your 4 plus Snickers.

I tend to think that, when billions of Twinkies are produced each year, it would take more than one master baker.
But I do agree that it won’t take as many as they have had, especially when they get dine all the efficiency audits.

Dammit, don’t you know that a union worker is your GUARANTEE OF QUALITY, and that ONLY union workers can provide a quality jjob, and if you hire nonunion workers, your products will instantly kill people and your factories will burn to the ground!!

Not defending unions but the hostess drivers were all teamsters and that was the big labor cost. IIRC the union bakers were only making $15/hr. The hostess truck drivers about 100,000 / yr.

I did forget Snickers.
How about this for the five basic food groups: sugar, salt, fat, chocolate and caffeine?
