        I bet they new buyer will reopen the plant shortly. Was it closed so that they could end a Union Contract? I bet there are big legacy costs on employees. New buyer wants to start fresh. Dollar General had #NECCO wafers in their stores in Missouri. I bought a box today.

        No, nothing to do with union. Workers were completely caught off guard.

        Everything to do with it. Company closed and employees fired. New company buys the company they can hire who they want. That is what happened at Interstate bakeries. Company had been closed for dead. The resurrected non-union.

        Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know you LIVED near the factory & actually know people effected. The employees WERE caught off guard! They thought they had until NOV. New owners never bothered to introduce themselves or address current employees.

        We will see what happens. But within 61 days the plant will be reopened or plans announced as to where it will be moving to under the management of the new owner.
