Hostess workers began a walkout on Friday after the company imposed a contract that includes an eight percent cut to wages and a large reduction in benefits. The company says that they cannot handle the strike. The company filed for bankruptcy, and has been fighting with the workers over how much they can cut. The workers say that they are fighting for their rights.
