Hostess will terminate 18,000 workers, including 30 in the Valleuy

Updated:

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – A bankruptcy court judge has approved a request by Hostess Brands, Inc. to begin winding down its operations.

The ruling came Wednesday after the maker of Twinkies and Ding Dongs failed in last-ditch negotiations to end a strike by its second-largest union.

Hostess now has the green light to terminate the jobs of its 18,000 workers and sell off its brands.

About 30 people are employed at the Hostess Wonder Bread outlet in Youngstown.
