Teamsters union eyes Hostess strike if judge cuts pensions
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced that workers at Hostess Brands have voted to strike if a bankruptcy judge approves cuts to health care and pensions. The local represents over 7,5000 workers, with 90% voting to strike. The company filed for bankruptcy last month, and has asked a court to cut some of its costs in order to regain financial health.
