The union whose nationwide strike sparked Hostess Brands Inc.'s decision to liquidate in bankruptcy said that its workers are "inextricably linked" to the future of snacks such as Twinkies and Ho Hos and hinted that the law is on its side when it comes to hiring practices, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported today. David Durkee, the president of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers & Grain Millers International Union, said his workers are "eager and willing" to return to the four plants that Apollo Global Management LLC and Metropoulos & Co .—the private-equity firms that bought most of Hostess's cake business—are relaunching over the next eight to 10 weeks.
