Day 18 ~ An Empty Bread Truck; Results of a Strike!

This is the truck of the famous podcaster of You Got that Right fame, Bobby G!

The Company I work for, Hostess Brands is dealing with a strike. The bakers have rejected the final offer from the company that the other unions, including my Teamster Union, has accepted.  The result, this empty truck! You can see just a couple of rows filled with bread. That was all that came down due to the strike. But this truck is usually full of bread but it is not.

The company announced yesterday that it is closing three bakeries who are on strike. Cincinnati, St. Louis and Seattle. The say if the other bakers don't end the strike soon, they will close down the other bakeries and that will be the end of the company.

I believe them.
