MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - Hostess workers across the country are on strike, including those at the downtown Memphis plant.
Members of the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union are in talks with the Irving, Texas-company over new contracts. Workers claim the contracts offered would mean both wage and benefit cuts.
In a statement, Hostess said the strike could force the company to liquidate its assets and lay off most of its 18,300-member workforce across the U.S.
