 Hostess Brands filed a plan to emerge from bankruptcy which will involve cuts in employees' pay, health and pension plans. But the future of the maker of Twinkies and Wonder Bread is still in doubt. The company said it could still go out of business if the Bakery Workers union carries out a threat to strike. The iconic company's reorganization plan, filed Wednesday with the federal bankruptcy court in New York, calls for an 8% cut to employees' wages, a reduction in health benefits, and a freeze in pension plan payments for more than two years. Under the plan, the company will also not pay $2 billion it owes to many of its creditors, including vendors.

While I think their products are junk food, it makes me sad to hear that a company who is so Americana is struggling like this makes me sad. I am praying this economy gets better.
Hostess: Please come to Japan!
Haven't had a Twinkie, CupCake, or HoHo in the past ten years(since I've been living here)...Help!
The problem we have here is ya'll grew up and stopped eating your Twinkies. See what happens when you stop eating your Twinkies? Everybody should Eat More Twinkies!

Hostess is the Best !!! I hope they can survive !!
Clearly, Hostess cakes is too big to fail, and is worthy of a massive federal bailout.
We grew up on Little Debbie snacks in our lunch boxes. Never had a Twinkie, but the cupcakes are divine.
