A U.S. Bankruptcy Judge has told Irving-based Hostess Brands Inc that its labor contracts with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union will stay in place.
The company had sought to throw out its agreement as it struggles with its second Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization it the past couple years.

Thousands of janitors, in cities across Washington State have begun negotiating a new contract. The current contract expires on June 30, 2012. These janitors—members of SEIU Local 6—will work tirelessly to bargain a contract that will pay them enough to make ends meet, support their families and retire in dignity.
Your help and support are vital to ensure that janitors are heard and respected at the bargaining table.
A good, fair contract for thousands of janitors will provide working families with what they need, building owners and tenants with the professional service they want, our economy with a boost and local governments with more tax revenue.
Please join us as we rally for “Good Jobs and Strong Communities!”
