Hostess Brands said it will be forced to liquidate and lay off most employees if workers mount a widespread strike.
The company declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January, blaming high pension and debt obligations, and its plan to emerge from bankruptcy included cuts in worker pay and benefits. Hostess workers belonging to the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union began a strike Friday at its Lenexa, Kan., bakery in response to court-approved pay cuts, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Texas-based Hostess has some 36 bakeries and employs 18,300 total.
