Why? Maybe there were scared of what the 5000 union bakers would do to them? The teamsters did accept the reduction in pay to keep a paycheck coming so give them a high five...5000 people, a small margin of the work force, pushed the hand of the company and all lost! I do blame the 5000 baker union members for taking away my sugar snacks! What were they striking over? an initial 8% reduction in pay, whereas 4% would be returned in 2013, another 1% would be returned in 2014 resulting in a total reduction in pay of just 3% by 2015... Now they will have government unemployment for 36 months and I'm sure will find a way to milk the system longer.From what I've read, BIMBO of Mexico has agreed to pickup the brands and move production South of the boarder. These brands will be here, the sad fact is 18,500 people lost their jobs 1 month before Christmas. I really feel bad for the non-union workers... I could care less about the baker union members....</blockquote>
