Question

Why was Hostess struggling prior to the strike and do you believe the union or management is more responsible for the downfall of the company?

Answer 1

Hosteless was loosing its shares and sales were continously falling down , people were not much in love with tastes of the snacks. Simply due to poor peformance , it was struggling and made an announcement to lay of its workers. Union of Teamsters narrowly accepted the contract while Baker's union called for a strike and thus it was a dramatic end of the company who had nothing to gain , had a huge debt and flawed contracts. The management i would say was more responsible , as the revenue was not being generated to keep the operations going.
