What happened was even worse that that. Sales weren’t that bad (there is always someone who wants to eat high-fat chemical-laden… wrapped in cellophane). The company wasn’t doing that bad before being taken over by parasite capitalists. who, after demanding concessions from the union, “financed” and consulted the company into bankruptcy while paying themselves hugely.
Hostess did have some union agreement problems. The drivers delivered by product instead of delivering all of their products in one truck to a store. Several drivers would service the same store in a day.
