Never cared much for the twinkie stuff. But do like the Home Pride bread.

Seeing they are selling the brands off, some of the product line should come back.

I'm wondering if the unions (300 different labor contracts?) were hoping the companies deadline of returning to work last night was a bluff. Big risk to take.

So 18,500 more jobs lost. And, an untold number of retirees who will be losing, at minimum, their monthly retirement income, and perhaps health benefits.

Is a major bummer all around.
