I heard in the office today that they were going to promote the HR mnanger in Billings plant. they think she can straighten things out down here. Does anybody know anything about her? Is she as good as people say she is to work for?

go back to the basics, bring back joe signore and dick serowic they will put the ship back on keel. i firmly believe not even twinkie the kid can help us or even freddie....

today was the toppers of all toppers. the boss told me that we are going into private label with targets, we probably don't sell 4 pieces of wonder per week but now this retarded vp says we will do it or else. this is the same group of idiots that backed away from a 6 million private label account with tops. not only that but it closed a bakery and put 250 people out of work? when will it stop.......

clueless at corprate headquaters of IBC , stocks nosedive , and employees look for answers , peoples live savings gone, But C.E.O.s will recieve there seven digit bonus for performance? Fine performance indeed ...............

Ok. I am not really an employee but an employee's wife. I can't think of one good thing about this employer other than the medical benefits. We have been through hell with IBC. First, my husband was hired and he quit his other job. He worked for about four months when he was informed that the depo manager didn't have the authority to hire him. He had to ask for his old job back. Then, he gets hired again and the money is ok if you do not consider the hours he has to work. He is at the depo by 3:30 a.m. and he does well if he is home by 5:30 p.m. They keep adding dead stops to his route and adding to his order causing more stales which takes away from his paycheck. And forget about time off, it's hard enough to get the time off but then one of the depo managers runs your route when your out an screws your whole order us causing you to eith have way too much (stales) or not enough. My poor husband stays exhausted and when you average his time by his income. It's just not worth it.

I don't believe we should give up on this company. In fact what we should do now is to fire those who can't produce. The Soar and Sap leaders, the recently promoted financial group . The stock price is low now, go and buy and vote out the board of directors who approve this mess.

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!! to you who believe this co. has taken care of you for all these years and think it will forever...get a life. this co. has been bled dry. remember enron??? dont be a fool, TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILIES run and never look back .

insanity: doing the same thing over and over ...expecting a differant result!!!! move over uppermgmt...let the LITTLE people save this company....if their is still a co. to save

I hope the good old boys have a nice vacation and never come back.

I hear the upper management is going on a two week junket to the Carribean to insure their off shore (legitimate) accounts are set up and ready. The corperate credit cards are being maxed out, airline tickets are bought................. Hello Enron v 2.0

stock closed at $4.56 biggest loser of the day. but take heart fellow employees. this company has a plan. after the bankruptcy reorganization they will start stremlining the way we do business. out with unprofitable accounts, out with useless upper management. we will get fresh on the market again. we will build our reputation back up to where it used to be. it wont happen overnight but if EVERYONE digs in sacrifices a little does their job to the very best of their ability ibc will rise from the ashes to be the industry leader again.....Ah Hell Who Am I Kidding, Were Toast.

BYE BYE BIG DEB YOUR TIME IS UP

Stock worth as of today is $4.85 and falling. SOAR sure took care of all of us. Lets send the SOAR team with the good old boys to Irac, and mabey they can fix the problems there also.

Good Buy???? Do you mean Good-by. No wonder that we are in trouble.

TIC.TIC.TIC. BOOM .JUST A MATTER OF TIME THEN BANKRUPTCY.GOOD BUY I B C

Wonder Bread Baker Stock Drops 25 Percent 1 hour, 24 minutes ago Add Business - Reuters to My Yahoo! NEW YORK (Reuters) - Interstate Bakeries Corp. (NYSE:IBC - news), maker of Wonder bread and Hostess Twinkies, on Monday said it hired a turnaround firm, delayed filing its annual report and outlined possible credit concerns, sending its shares tumbling more than 25 percent. Related Quotes IBC DJIA NASDAQ S&P 500 5.33 10185.87 1845.48 1104.31 -2.57 -9.14 -16.61 -3.46 delayed 20 mins - disclaimer Quote Data provided by Reuters The company cited several issues in a news release, including the "possibility" that its auditors could raise questions about its ability to continue as a going concern. Kansas City, Missouri-based Interstate Bakeries said it has retained Alvarez & Marsal, a firm that works on crisis management and other issues, for assistance. The company said it is also in talks with representatives of the agent bank under its senior secured credit facility and plans to discuss these issues and potential responses with representatives of the purchasers of its recently issued senior subordinated convertible notes. The company's annual report was due with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (news - web sites) last Friday. Interstate Bakeries said the delay in filing the report was due to data entry and training deficiencies in its new financial reporting systems, which were installed on June 1; uncertainty regarding anticipated fiscal 2005 first-quarter results; uncertainty over whether it may not be in compliance with covenants in its senior secured credit facility agreement during fiscal 2005; and other factors. If the auditor's report accompanying the company's audited financial statements contains a "going concern" paragraph, or if Interstate Bakeries fails to file its fiscal 2004 report by Sept. 26, the company said it may not be able to borrow under its senior secured credit facility and could accelerate outstanding indebtedness under that facility and, subject to certain conditions, senior subordinated convertible notes as well. The company said there is no assurance that it would be able to obtain alternative financing if those circumstances occurred. Interstate Bakeries said that if it does not have appropriate agreements with its lenders to avoid such circumstances, it would need to consider alternative courses of action. Interstate Bakeries had previously obtained an extension to last Friday to file its report due to delays in finalizing its audited statements for 2004 stemming from a previously announced investigation of its manner for setting its workers' compensation reserves and other reserves. Interstate Bakeries shares were down $2.09, or 26.5 percent, at $5.81, the lowest level in more than a decade, on Monday morning on the New York Stock Exchange (news - web sites). The stock was the biggest loser in percentage terms on the NYSE.

Interstate Bakeries Corporation (ticker: IBC, exchange: New York Stock Exchange) News Release - 30-Aug-2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interstate Bakeries Corporation Defers Filing 2004 10K KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 30, 2004--Interstate Bakeries Corporation (NYSE:IBC), today said that due to the convergence of a number of recently identified interrelated circumstances, it had not on Friday, August 27, 2004, filed its Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended May 29, 2004 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company said it is seeking to resolve these matters promptly and will defer filing its fiscal 2004 Form 10-K until it has done so. Filing will occur when the officers who must make the certification required by the Sarbanes Oxley Act in connection with such filing are in a position to do so. IBC had previously obtained an extension to last Friday for a timely filing of its Fiscal 2004 Form 10-K because of delays encountered in finalizing its audited financial statements for its 2004 fiscal year arising from its previously announced investigation of the Company's manner for setting its workers' compensation reserves and other reserves. The Company said that the delay in filing its Form 10-K, which was due last Friday, arose out of: initial data entry and training deficiencies in the Company's newly implemented financial reporting systems, installed June 1, 2004; uncertainty regarding anticipated Fiscal 2005 first quarter results, in part due to delayed information availability resulting from such deficiencies which has made it difficult to analyze the impact of negative sales trends during the first quarter of Fiscal 2005; resulting uncertainty as to whether the Company may not be in compliance with covenants in its senior secured credit facility agreement during Fiscal 2005; and the possibility, therefore, that the report of its independent auditors with respect to the Company's Fiscal 2004 financial statements might contain a paragraph to the effect that there may be substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has begun to receive the delayed information and to use it to better develop and analyze fiscal 2005 first quarter results. While the effort is still ongoing, the Company considers its direction to be positive relative to the uncertainties and possibilities noted above, although no conclusions can yet be reached. As part of its effort to aggressively deal with these matters and pursue an effective going forward business strategy, IBC has retained the firm of Alvarez & Marsal to assist the Company. The Company also is engaged in discussions with representatives of the agent bank under its senior secured credit facility and intends to also discuss these issues and potential responses with representatives of the purchasers of the Company's recently issued senior subordinated convertible notes. The Company noted that although it is working diligently to resolve the foregoing issues, if certain circumstances were to develop, including if the auditor's report accompanying the Company's audited financial statements contains a going concern paragraph, or if it does not file its Fiscal 2004 Form 10-K by September 26, 2004, under the terms of the Company's senior secured credit facility this could result in IBC's inability to borrow under its senior secured credit facility and acceleration of outstanding indebtedness under the senior secured credit facility and, subject to certain conditions, the senior subordinated convertible notes as well. In the event of any such acceleration, there is no assurance that IBC would be able to obtain alternative financing. In the absence of appropriate agreements with its lenders to avoid such circumstances, the Company would need to consider alternative courses of action which are typically considered by companies in similar circumstances. Interstate Bakeries Corporation is the nation's largest wholesale baker and distributor of fresh baked bread and sweet goods, under various national brand names, including Wonder, Hostess, Dolly Madison, Baker's Inn, Merita and Drake's.

Hey Keith, Other companies DO pay overtime. I am in Texas which is a right to work state just like where you are. Frito Lay and Bluebell both receive overtime. Also, for whoever said a while back "there is no wonder bread in Texas" you are wrong. We haul lots of it on the Dolly routes. We have one grocery account that we sell it to for .74 a loaf regular price. This is our managments way of getting sales up in a crappy account. The company is making very little on that but it makes their numbers look better. We will go in any account that calls and wants service,no matter how low the sales are. We put in a lot of hours so don't talk to me about whining. Some of us have 14 or 15 grocery stores a day along with c stores, vendors and schools. It's getting ridiculous.

Keith, you are an idiot. We do not sell anything here. We order what we are told to order. We do not have any control over what we order. When that order comes in, with the added product (pluses) that the company wants us to deliver we drive it drive it to where we can make it fit and we put it on the shelf. That is not sales, that is delivery. I do not spend my work day selling anything, I don't have time. I do spend my day trying to find a place to put all the extra units the company and my DM plussed my order. I am not responsible for getting new accounts, that's what an account executive does. I am responsible for getting the product to the store and on the shelf and maintaining that shelf with fresh product and keeping that shelf clean. What part of this don't you get?

to all you cry babies in california let me just tell you you are in sales you get com.plus a base pay what the hell makes you think you should get overtime.no other company pays overtime for its sales people unless they are paid by the hour.if you do get overtime count yourself lucky ,we here in florida dont get it and hell we are smart enough to know we are not supposed to get either

IBC ,Continental Baking, Ral.Purina,ITT. I have gone through all the transitions, and now am ready to retire after 35 years. The company has been good to me,the wages helpes my children earning their college degree, a nice house, raise a beautiful family. I have no complaint about the company even though I have gone through quite a few bad time. Leadership is most important for the company to be sucessful . We have a few good and bad one. I am sure we at Pomona know who they are. All I want to say is their time will come, may be sooner than anticipated.

TEAMSTERS UNION HAS NO POWER .WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME A B.A. WAS AT THE JOB SITE TO VIST THE RANK AND FILE.

Hey Yourmomma, don't waste your time calling the union. Send a certified letter and address it to Randy Cammack, then carbon copy that letter and send it certified to your worthless business agent as well as Jim Santangelo. Need addresses for these clowns??? Here's the web address: http://www.teamstersjc42.com/ You can read all the propaganda they spew forth about unity bla bla bla there.

I worked in sales for 40 years, putting in around 20 hours of non-paid overtime a week. At $ 15.00 an hour that comes to $600.000.00. Have now been retired for 15 years and enjoying every moment of it. Continental was a fun place to work and I figure the overtime was a donation that kept them in business. It sounds like Interstate is not that kind of Company.Give em hell guys!

Write the petition and let us know. http://www.gopetition.com/create.php

The teamsters union can go to hell.They are nothing but a bunch of blowhard wind bags who only care about collecting union dues and doing nothing for the rank and file.Where this so called Hoffa power we hear so much about?Hector could not find his ass if you pointed it out to him that worthless piece of ***.Interstate brands is going broke fast do you think they wiil see 01 -01 -05 I don't think so

How much does a union rep cost? Tell all the people in your depot's about this website. I dont mind mind working hard for my money. I do mind mind getting screwed as I assume you all do also. We want nothing for free. Just treat us as you would the kid you pay to cut your lawn. Do you treat him this way also?

No I dont have a potition, I have just been calling and e-mailing the union. They are not returning my calls any more. Thats a good idea . We can take it directly to Teamster headquarters if know one from here wants to get off there ass. We can get this done . How do we get it going????

as a employee for quit a few years I have seen the changes from one company that was profitable and family oriented to a company that is more worried about lawsuits from minorities. We all as employees do not want anyone treated unfairly no matter what race religion or sex they may be. This company was built on a family base of people. everyone was related in one way or another to someone else that worked here. now we are worried about people having a high school diploma or ged . The quality of workers has decreased consibarilly in the past few years because it used to be people worked here to better theirselfs and the company and worried about the big picture of this location making money to stay in buissness. now we only worry about next weeks paycheck or how much overtime we can get with minimal work involved. A lot of this is to blame on upper management which does not know how to manage the people or properly make sure they are trained the way they need to be. Lets all work together to get this place back up to the #1 bakery and have a long prosporis job

tell me more about Mr M, and your right on, he is clueless along with all dolly madison people. dolly was a joke for years. Big Jim and Tall Mike don't understand the baking business. I believe it's far to late, I would either look or retire because chapter 11 is right in our faces.

Hey yourmomma, Do you have a petition for us to sign? Let us know and we will sign.

dont be a fool jump while the water is shallow, or this company will drag you to deep water and drown you, read the writing on the wall, how many warning signs do you need b-for your a believer ? they have drained the co. dry. wake up america , jump jump JUMP!!!!!

What happened to that worthless peice of shit Bob M. in marketing? Did he open his mouth and shoot himself in the ass again?

How much does a union rep cost. RE-VOTE we can revote the union represents us they take $ from us. RE-VOTE!!!!! WE WANT A RE-VOTE

Only losers jump ship. I think a lot of you dont know what the hell your talking about. Your just constant bitchers, we dont need you anyways, I feel for anyone who lost their job, but Im not giving in! Sure their are some IDIOTS in upper management, people who wouldnt know how to hell to run a route if they had to, but its my living.

Anyone know why they fired the route sales driver in Bozeman Montana?

This company is going out of business thanks to edlp and continental buns. to cheap to make any money!! Good one IBC

ibc is in the tank save yourselves and your families its too late for us. no one can keep such a large ship afloat with mismgmt at the top at the rate of loss we have. jump ship or drown and lose all you have with them

I have been a route salesman for 19 years and like my job. We are going through tough times right now(and have before) but will bounce back. I agree that some management have to wake up. All we here is "WE have to get returns under 5%. We here nothing about increasing sales lately. I personally believe 5% is unrealistic without losing sales. A 8% is a more realistic goal. We were told at a recent meeting it costs .82 to make a loaf of white bread, but our thrift store sells fresh Wonder Big for .55. And yes our Quality is really down in some varieties. I can only hope we get our shit together before its to late.

buffalo, right on! i also understand the dogs had a pizza and chicken wing party to complete the party?

dear ibc corperate liers. ibc buffalo closed because weston out bid ibc for the private label business. ahold out of the netherlands is having a fire sale to get cash and sell any and everything they hold in the u.s. anyone that shops at tops markets or any ahold owned enterprize is just adding to the demise of the american labor force. it will put more than 250 americans out of work and the beat goes on. jamica and my bread are on the charts for a closing soon. ibc is the worst run company with a bunch of upper management money hungry idiots just beating this company to death. every major account in the northeast is down and some as high as 30% over last year. how can a upper management structure allow management to cook the books, lose a major account worth millions, close a bakery with sales that were up and keep the same idiot in charge. i do believe the s.e.c. is closing in on the people that need to be investaged and put in pin stripes.

to the whiners, complainers, gripers.....go work for the competitors....do yourself and the rest of us a favor

I love this company, it don't get any better than this !!!!!

sorry to see you go..R.I.P.

i AGREE WITH THE PERSON FROM S.F. BAKERY, A RAISED A FAMILY AND PUT MY DAUGHTER THROUGH A PRIVATE COLLEGE. I HAVE WORKED FOR WONDER-HOSTESS FOR 36 YEARS, WE HAVE HAD HIGHS AND LOWS, BUT THIS COMPANY HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME.

Mitch, When the Class Action is settled, I want to take you and the Mrs. to dinner. My way of saying Thanks!

im getting sick and tired of being treated like*&^%$ in this plant.

Hey Rizzo [joke] where are you? Did the guy finger you for being management.? Sounds like there is alot of back stabbing in Billings plant. You guys are playing right into the your HR manager game. sounds like this is what she want to happen. Smartinup you guys.

Don't RE-ELECT the HECTOR clan. We DELIVER cake and bread, NOT SELL. IBC has ruined everything. Sign the lawsuit. Maggie and Jim retire SOON. GO AWAY.

I have worked for the company for many years now in one of the thrift stores. It has been interesting to watch the so called changes to bring this company back to being profitable. Funny one would think you can do this by consistent threats to it's employees, that they will either be written up or their store will close if things don't change. Never have they been written up in all the years they have worked there befor new management came into the picture. The company has provided no training or meetings for their managers on what they expect, just fax changes that they want that are not understood. No I am not one of the managers, but I can say what I have seen since June. We have recieved shut off notices for unpaid bills. Over shipped product is sitting in the bay that no one ordered and there is no where for it to go, so it sits there until it goes out as hog feed. Sales in at least 3 stores continue to drop, for the one I am in, for the first time in many years to consistently drop. Not hard to figure out why. Where most companies are finding ways to cut back on wasted time with paper work, ours keeps picking up. Instead of spending time on our customers and our store, we are doing more and more increased paperwork. Our managers are stressed with continuous inventories and faxes of things to do, not to speak of the stress as to how long they will have their jobs. Our customers, some living day to day financially are no longer coming in for the grab bags and reduced priced cakes they use to enjoy. Many have told me they can no longer afford these treats at the higher prices. Employees are now spending increased time writting down all these hundreds of cakes a week now being sold as hog feed. We were also informed it is up to us to sweep, mop and clean the stores, but do not go over your scheduled hours. And of course make sure the store is grand opening ready befor you leave. At our store most of the schedule is one employee with the exception of a few hours a day, and I can't get what the company wants. All I have figured out is we are supose to clock out and continue working to accomplish what is expected of us without getting paid. I guess that is what is meant by figure out a way to get it done. I am not saying there was not room for improvement in management and in the stores. It just doesn't seem what is being done is working and I don't think you accomplish things with threats. Are there any other thrift stores out there that read this that can relate or maybe help us understand what is going on?

I HAVE WORKED FOR WONDER FOR 26 YEARS IT IS A GREAT JOB I HAVE PUT MY KIDS THROUGH SCHOOL AND HAVE TAKEN SOME WONDERFUL VACATIONS BECAUSE THE PAY IS GOOD THE BENIFITS ARE GOOD AND THE JOB IS GOOD YOU PEOPLE THAT BITCH ABOUT EVERY LITTLE PROBLEM SHOULD REALLY THINK ABOUT ANOTHER LINE OF WORK THE BREAD BUSINESS ISN'T PREFECT YOU GET UP EARLY YOU WORK LONG HOURS BUT THE WAY I LOOK AT IT MOST OF THE PEOPLE ON MY ROUTE ARE MY FRIENDS AND I GET TO SEE THEM DAILY TIME GOES MY FAST 10 HOURS SEEMS LIKE 6. THE COMPANY IS GOING THROUGH SOME HARD TIMES LETS GIVE IT SOME TIME TO SEE IF THEY CAN GET THINGS GOING AGAIN. LIKE I SAID THEY HAVE BEEN GOOD TO ME AND MY FAMILY. QUIT THE BITCHING AND DO YOUR JOB AND CO IT RIGHT!!!!

I'm glad you are reading this board I.B.C. Glad you took measures to insure we have buns and dogs for the holyday for a change. A bit of a overkill ,but a start. Why don't you send your management out on routes for a few days so they can learn from the drivers what it take's to sell bread. believe it or not we are not the enemy.

This lawsuit I would have never signed before. Now with seeing how this Svenhardt deal was done and how the extention was run by us. How the union is in bed with I.B.C, Watching good men loose there routes and jobs for Bullshit. That one guy is on the money ,screwing your loyal people is not good biz! Bring on the lawsuites I'll sign them all. The way I.B.C. is ran we will all be out of work any way.

How much does a union rep cost? How much was Hector?

Who wants to buy I.B.C. stock?????? L.O.L

Hey Mark Cooper, you got to learn not to screw people thats loyal. You will have a lot less sick time, hurt time ,law suites ect. If your employees think they are a part of the company and they dont have to watch there back evry few seconds . You want a productive work force ,then you must realize being a dick is not the answer to everthing. Being a leader is the answer. Learn to be a leader.

Good luck to all the Bufallo and Monroe workers just read about the closings,is this a sign of the times or a company ran by idiots,and friends of idiots.The real problem will never be adressed bad managment .Starting from the top on down not a lot of brainpower just backstabing ass kissers of which way to many stupid decisions that are money losing from the beginig!!

Belinda, Our bread is generally stamped with a 10 day code, which means from the time it is delivered to the store there are 7 days given to be sold in the store, on the seventh day it is picked up and taken to a thrift store where it is sold at a reduced price for the remaining three days. If there is not proper rotation or a real slow selling store you will see two loaves of bread with different sell dates on them. In many stores a "variety" item will only have a few units delivered as that is all that sells at that location, that may be the reason you saw that. Or the second loaf could have been a reshop (meaning someone found it in another location in the store and took it back to the bread shelf) just check the date when you buy, just like you do milk, eggs etc... No evil conspiracy at work here, just normal situations in any grocery store.

How do I get a copy of the "Bi-laws" or "Meet & Confer". Things are happening that just don't seem legal to me. I have worked with the Hostess/Wonder for 23yrs. with an impecable record and with the "restructuring" the rules are changing literally daily! I need some guidance

An honest days work? How's this for those of you sitting on the sidelines commenting on this? Wake up at 2:00am clock in at 3:00am load truck until 4:00 or 5:00 am with 800 to 1500 loaves of bread...(that's 1200 to 3000 pounds of bread no matter how you slice it) serve stores for 6 to 9 hours taking one meal break in the truck as you drive between stops if you happen to have a restaurant on your route, otherwise you may not have time to stop. return to the depot, having worked 9 -12 hours already (with a 15 minute lunch on the go), unload the truck, do your paperwork and go home. Do this with Wednesdays and Sundays off for a month and then talk to me about an honest days work. And remember to get in bed by 6:00 pm so you can get 8 hours sleep! We get paid pretty well for what we do. But we're certainly on the extreme end of the scale on the amount of work we do in a week's time.

Hey Anonymous: All I am saying is that the lawsuit put me out of work. Even our great company couldn't afford it! If the California people want to work shorter hours then negotiate it in the contract with the idiot union that killed us. The lawsuit is a mistake and California workers will suffer wait and see...

Hey Lakewood, what about doing the right thing? If the company is in violation of the law shouldn't they pay for that? As long as they don't get caught it's ok right? Grow a back bone, this company has been on the downside for a lot longer than this law suit has been around. Obviously they aren't stepping up to the plate to support their employees.

To Tom the Consumer: Trust me when I say most of us drivers give a honest days work (and then some). I have worked at a couple of bakeries and Wonder guys are bitchers for sure. But they do work pretty hard. I am not sure about some management giving a hard AND honest days work though.

How do you rank and file members feel about teamster local 190? Do you feel your getting your money worth I don't feel we are .

Arlene Teich MN: Take the donettes to any store near you and ask for replacement product and the store will be re-imbursed from Hostess.

Susan in Tuscon: What a great lady you are to pass on that information. Have a great day!

Dis-illusioned Pomona: Yeah, go for the lawsuit---Let's see--a couple of thousand dollars---A 50-60 thousand dollar a year job? Which one would you choose? After the lawsuit in Washington about half of us lost their jobs..don't be stupid.

Closing plants like in New York is the wrong solution. Closing up the good old boys jobs in corporate is the right solution. They are all being paid big money for doing nothing but closing plants and thrift stores.

One member of IBC management once braggedf giving a loaf of bread to a new routeman he was training as "lunch". This after the man had the "nerve" to ask when lunch was late in the day. All of the vacation drivers and most of the regulars are afraid to take a lunch. Heck, they're also afraid to sign the class action suit. We're scorned and punished for taking an honest day of sick leave. The management must think that since they don't get overtime pay, we shouldn't either. Personally, I think you're crazy not to sign the lawsuit!

Frank Rizzo : I work in the plant so I know who you are and you are using a nick name. You shouldn't be telling people that you are shooting your mouth off. I would tell you my name but you would retaliate on me since you are management.

Interstate Bakeries Corporation (ticker: IBC, exchange: New York Stock Exchange) News Release - 23-Aug-2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interstate Bakeries Announces Closing of Buffalo, New York KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 23, 2004--Interstate Bakeries Corporation (NYSE:IBC) today announced plans to close its bakery in Buffalo, NY. The closing, scheduled for October 23, 2004, will affect approximately 200 employees. The Buffalo facility primarily makes bread and rolls, sold under various brand names, including Wonder, Home Pride and Beefsteak, as well as donuts sold under the Hostess brand name. This production will be transferred to other IBC bakeries, including facilities in Akron, OH, Biddeford, ME, Jamaica, NY, and Philadelphia, PA. The bakery closing will not affect distribution of IBC products to food stores in upstate New York and other markets. "The decision to close the Buffalo bakery was made after considerable evaluation and deliberation," said James R. Elsesser, IBC's Chief Executive Officer. "However, we are consolidating operations company-wide and seeking production efficiencies. The Buffalo bakery, which was built in 1923, is not as efficient as some of our other facilities. As a result, we concluded that economically it was best for the Company to close the facility." Mr. Elsesser added, "Our employees in Buffalo have been a hard working group. We appreciate their efforts and regret that they and their families are being impacted by this decision." Most of the employees affected by this decision are represented by three unions: local #802 of the Bakers, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union; local #447 of the International Association of Machinists; and local #264 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Severance arrangements for those employees affected by the closing will be determined during affects bargaining and will be guided by IBC's agreements with the applicable unions. Last month the company also announced the closing of a bread bakery in Monroe, LA for similar reasons, affecting approximately 50 employees. Monroe is scheduled to close September 17, 2004. Production will be shifted primarily to IBC's facility in Alexandria, LA. The company estimates that it will take approximately $7,700,000 to $9,600,000 in restructuring charges related to the two closings, a portion of which will be taken in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Approximately 60% of such charges will result in future cash expenditures. Interstate Bakeries Corporation is the nation's largest baker and distributor of fresh baked bread and sweet goods, under various national brand names including Wonder, Hostess, and Home Pride. The Company, with 55 bread and cake bakeries located in strategic markets from coast-to- coast, is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. For information, please contact: Mark D.

Anyone seen the teamsters union they are missing from the work site?All these problems that we have and the teamsters union turns a blind eye to them.What are we paying dues for ? Are they scared of Deb in HR.

I work for hostess they (management) want overtime cut back. Only solution is to add a route or cut service. Which one is it? I feel sorry for the dolly routes they have worse than we do! Small trucks, more stops, more miles to drive but get your OT down. what a joke.

NO BACKBONE you people cant work w/ mgmt, nor can you get the union whom you PAYto represent you do anything positive. roll over your dead, do your job and stop crying or move on

LA HOSTESS you are right the teamsters union sell everyone out where this so called HOFFA POWER at its dead in the water. Looks like the company and the union roll out of the same bed.

to los angeles hostess,first of all we did not even need the svenhards people,when millbrook(ibc) bought parisian we took on there people,but why take on these people,unless we bought them it it's another deal between the union and the company,i don't know if you have noticed but the union we not even return phone calls to the members,we have been SOLD OUT!!!!

I was on vacation when all this union vote was taken so I did not get to vote or voice my opinion on this so called extension. First of all,we are only distributing the Svenhardts label,IBC did not purchase it.That being fact,how or why did the union push the dovetail? Since IBC doesn't own the label,what happens when Svenhardt's or IBC decide that we will no longer carry Svenhardt's? Do the IBC routesalesmen get their route's back? When the Co. asked for an extension, what was offered by the Co. and what was asked by the union? Does anybody know? How could the union recommened us accepting this extension? The $750 instead of 1/2% commision is about as dumb an offer as i've ever heard,yet we voted for it. What kind of union is this? Oh the union is also tapping into our pension. What a joke.

to the person who bought the drakes apple pies .the date sept. 03 the 03 part of the date on that box of pies means the 3rd day of sept. not sept.2003

Hey Robo you might call anonymous immature but what about your name calling. You are a hipocrite. Why doesn't employees and retirees stick together? We all have problems with IBC . Why should people quit and let IBC win? If we all voice our incidents maybe we could work together.

forbes magazine: 2 sources say ibc in the "junk' rating....why would ibc be listed in the IBL (internet bankruptsy library)??? last rat to jump ship DROWNS.......

Deb bring a whole new meaning to the word BITCH

RE-VOTE, Dont let them get away with this bull shit!!! Demand a revote!!!!!!!!!!!! How much doe's a union rep cost?

Robo, By punitive action I mean having your route scoured daily for anything off schematic, a re shop that is one day off code or anything imperfect and then coming in to a reprimand X 3 or 4 (forget which) this leads to termination, I have never had it happen to me, but have seen it happen to others over the years. Devils Food Twinkie Lover, I also love the devils food twinkies, however this is a seasonal item only, it only comes out about once a year and for only a few weeks across the country. I think the things are great however the scheduling of this and other seasonal items is far enough up the chain of command that the person who decides to send them out for distribution likely hasn't seen the inside of a route truck for 20+ years. Sorry, keep looking for them, you might happen on them sometime and when you do buy a bunch and freeze them.

Montana you do not have to answer to Robo. He is a dickless wonder. I never seen so much garbage out of someone's mouth. He is stupiddddddddddd.

Robo she has been turned in and reprimanded by the state but she doesn't care. We have tried everything but IBC pats her on the back. She doesn't care about the condition that we work in. She beleives in getting even with people that has complained about her.

Hey Robo you must be a dick head. If you only knew how many people HR Deb has fired and had to bring back because she illegally fired. Anybody that stands up for themselves she will try to nail to the wall. So before you start yapping your jaws get shit in a groove.

Your all going down.

Svenhards is a small pastry bakery with their bakery located in Oakland , California. They distribute their product all over the West. In Northern Cal, they are the #1 dollar market share, with Hostess #2, Entenmanns #3 and Little Debbie a distant last. They only have company routes in Northern Cal. Southern Cal, and Nevada, Hostess distributes their product. They have a very high quality product.

Do you think I could pay Hector to get my route back from the svenherdts driver? Do you think he will take payments? How much doe's a union man cost??

When our stock gets down to around five bucks we should be sold. I pray this every day .there is know hope for us as I.B.C employes. We could controll the market and grow llike crazy with some smart buiseness people in charge. I.B.C does'nt realize it 's about selling product. They are clueless at how to grow. Grow now or sell us . PLEASE.

what is svenhearts

Well then do something about it. Call 63 or what ever your Union is and tell them we dont care how much Hector was payed it is not a exceptable deal. RE-VOTE, RE-VOTE, RE-VOTE, HEY MITCHY MOUSE, Get your lawyers working on this issue will you??

You know what, we pay the Union a bunch of money I'm not happy with the way this contract was pushed by us. I dont like the healthcare issue nor the dovetail thing. Were just distributing there products we did'nt but svenhearts. Whats up with that? Why should our guy's loose ther jobs to make room for another companies driver's . I agree I would'nt mind a re vote.

MITCHY MOUSE!!! I signed it and mailed it the same day. Waite and see the lawsuites comming on this contract ectintion. Way to handle things I.B.C. If I was one of those poor guys loosing there routes to these svenhead drivers I would sue I.B.C and the Union and that worthless bastard hector. I.B.C Is sucking the svenhead drivers d#%ks while bonning guys that have been doing a good job for years. WE WANT A RE-VOTE !!!! Call that peice of sh*& Hector and tell him we want a RE-VOTE.

Robbie, I do not know what kind of job you have with the company or what kind of union contract (if any) you operate under. If you work under a union contract call you local union hall for information, barring that ask a coworker in your department. If you are a non union employee your best bet is to ask a supervisor or contact Human Resources.

Robo: People post here as this gives them a way to voice their frustrations or concerns with complete anonymity and without punitive action being taken by management. I never met anyone named Robo and I doubt that is your name, thus you perpetrate the very act you scorn others for. Unless you are in senior management hipocracy is not part of your job description. Or to put it more bluntly: It is the internet, stop being a dolt.

You all are so brave!!! You hide on this site like little worms instead of standing up for what you believe with your bosses or "HR Deb". Get a life you losers....

Does anyone have "any" information regarding the "Health and Dental" benefits? I have been searching the Internstate Brands sites for contact for coverage.

Like the backbone you have posting your name and location?

Every plant must have a Mitch. We have one who is in management and he has no backbone . Nice to your face but stabs you in your back as you walk away.

to the guy badmouthing Mitch. If you really feel that way post your name so Mitch can see it. That way when you opt in on this lawsuit everyone will see what your about.

lets hear it for all the hard working uppermanagement hip hip ......

Good job i love it!

To know Mitch is to "THANK" him. Thanks Fish for standing up to this company. Count me in. SHOW ME THE MONEY

The person who says to stay away from Mitch should have the guts to post his/her name so he can check to see if they opted in or out. Go ahead and give him your name.

any lawsuit Mitch is involved in can't be worth my time . To know him is to stay far far away from him !!

I think if you don't sign it your an idiot. What IBC is going to fire all of the route drivers in CA? Get real.

is anybody going to sign the southern calif. law suit,i think you might be cutting your own throat...

To the "Red Duke" ...in regards to you previous post. There will not be a change in our company's horrible image or financial status until the house is cleaned. Just check some of the other bakeries' stock, the difference is MANAGEMENT. You are absolutely correct. I spent a few hours today...researching our companies previous and current status, sales and financial conditions. ...Then I did the same thing with two of our companies largest competitors....conclusion?... I came up with the same as you...Red Duke.

RUN FOREST RUN

May god bless all the employees that has work there butts off for this company we are going to need it now the end is near,good luck everbody, hard times is on the way.

Has anybody heard if anyone is going to buy us ( IBC),OR DOES BANKRUPCTY SEEM TO BE NEAR!!!! AND IF SO HOW SOON DO YOU THINK THE COMPANY WILL FILE CHAPTER 11 ( ANY OPINIONS OUT THERE ) WE ARE HEARING BYE THE FIRST 2005 THEY WONT EVEN BE ABLE TO PAY THERE EMPLOYEES !!!!!!

The grim reaper is on his way with a bankruptcy notice. The good old boys sure made a mess of it. There is little hope now.

Well well well..... Been a bit since I have checked this site, I see it is pretty much the same. To the DSM, taking the attitude that "YEAH? We screw the pooch in upper management all the time, just deal with it!" Comes off as condescending, and oddly enough immature at the same time (Hmm oxymoronic). People who post on this site by and large have a vested interest in the wellbeing of the company, as many have the majority of their working life invested in it. They may not hold STOCK in the company (can't blame them there now can we?) but if an individual has 15 or 20 years time invested with IBC and takes the time to voice concerns it shows they really care. The current financial shambles is the result of upper mismanagement acting like a monkey with a football with the fiduciary aspects of this business, coupled with the PROJECT DIVE results we have seen in the last six months. The "restructure" has seen no changes in upper management other than moving them around and drawing new job titles out of a hat to give the appearance of "progress". A similar (though extreme) analogy would be the Catholic Church's approach to the pedophile preist catastrophe, they moved them around as opposed to dropping them. There will not be a change in our company's horrible image or financial status until the house is cleaned. Just check some of the other bakeries' stock, the difference is MANAGEMENT. With the job title you have given you are not in a position to fix this, you simply do what you're told and try to play the "company line" the power structure in this company makes you accountable by your superiors for the same superior's mistakes, you are also in the wonderful position of catching crap from youir subordinates for your superior's screw ups, I do not envy you your position. The major stock holders have got to get together and select a new senior management team, else our company will be dragging the bottom for some time to come.

All we do is shift bad management instead of getting rid of the dead wood.Theres where were losing valuable dollars.Probaly half if not more not needed.Look out below boys and girls if were sold all you extras will be at the unemployment line!!!!Dont look now its right around the corner!! I heard were filling for bankruptcy know what that meens?

I heard a comet is passing by earth on August 31st. Why don't we all kill ourselves and let the comet take us to our new destinaton in the after life. That will show-em !!!

Rumor has it that Wonder/Hostess is up for sale. Problem is that all of the loans go with it.

25 years with wonder than ibc dist. manger then sales manger then regional manger then manger then route runner i love .it you back staber what gos around comes around. you rat bastard just quit and leave us alone .where did it get you shithead .you want back in the union now pay up fat ass .i love my job its the jerk i had to work under .oh yes your route will be plussed 20% over what you order. see you at 3am sweets. dont over sleep 1st stop is 45 minute drive dont make any plans you will be sleeping alot

Nobody up here has any idea what a "Market Leader" is!

To the route saleman that thinks ibc controls the north west have you delivered to a store outher then a 7 11

Nice try there is no Frank Rizzo in Billings.

Frank is in the Union and i see this abuse everyday for one reason or another,If your that chronic to show up for 1 or 2 days a week or 6 days over 3 weeks why are you working in this industry making life difficult for the rest of the people in your dept.Then of all things blame the co. or HR whos trying to get you to show up to work.

i am not the one crying , you folks are. i am only commenting on why let uppermgmt take your pride in a job well done.lashing out on someone in mgmt just because they are in mgmt isnt right. maybe just maybe i care for the people under me! ever think of that?

for the one who asked why i am home at this hour.... i am healing from a near fatal accident thank you for your concern

well another wife:: thank you for your insite. i dont usally type as this isnt my profession but thanks for your keen eye. my post isnt an attack on any one who is trying to do their job. more like why let ibc strip you of your integrity.but when someone attacks me as a mgr and does not know what i have done for this company and to HELP salesmen get home to see their wives and kids hours before i could see mine and sometimes i would go 4 days w/out seeing them because i worked from 2am to 8-9 pm or worked out of state or whatever.... i get put out. i will work on my typing abilities and punctuation

Frank Rizzo works in HR dept. under different name in Billings. Always trying to put blame on other people.

to my friend who refered to me as boo hoo.aparently you cant read. take a minute and have someone read my post to you, then have them EXPLAIN what all the big words mean. if you read it properly you would have seen it agrees this company has major problems.but people like you complain so much you dont know when to stop and when to do something about it.now.. you said get off my butt and get some business, when did it stop being everyones job to build business?sounds like your part of the problem like upper mgmt, sitting on your hands waiting for someone to carry you along.well my record stands 10-12% growth and 6% returns.HOWS YOURS??? dare to be honest?yes i have the option to quit so dont you.its not about how much the company screws us its about if you want to work here, they are not going to change. its not YOUR company, its theirs.you dont have a nickel invested in it, and dont say well i have been here so many years.. dont matter you got a check every week for them, they owe you nothing. i bet your one of those salesmen who are constantly being followed because of low work standards? right?? take pride in your work first, and if things arnt going well consider your options, atleast then you can go knowing you did every thing well.

Frank Rizzo: Hooray for you! If the complainers would just be thankful for having a job quite unlike millions of Americans who have no job, our company would be solvent instead of struggling. It doesn't matter who management is, just do your job and quit callig in sick with every ache and pain. The bread business hs changed over the years. There is not much loyalty anymore for the people who pay our bills by providing us with employment that gives us a good lifestyle....

What a great country we live in! I no other...Were a guy can go to a place like our company enjoy the wages and benifits we have and try to figure out everyway he can not to come to work and get some kind of pay out of it ! From my head hurts to my back aches to being so overweight and out of shape from not taking care of themselves over the years but the company owes them! Its about me me me .Hello its a labor environment ! You all no what im talking about ,those who spend more time at home than at work.I ask myself if your problems are that chronic why are you still hanging on putting yourself and the rest through the misery.Ah its about me me me!

3802: You are filing for unemployment because you probably were not out looking for new business, instead you were hurrying home every day and complaining about everything the company wanted you to do. Who's "Toby"? We have new DSM's from your area, we'll see if they make it here in the great Pacific Northwest where we enjoy the lead on the bread tables and control our competitors. We might send them back to you people in the sticks.

SOAR's ...LOL they spent 55 MILLION for them to tell us that we are FUC#ED UP ??? I could have told them that FOR FREE !!!!!!!!!!!

Buy stock now as it is going up to about $16.00 in 2 weeks time. Hurry and buy now.

Lakewood "route rep", why don't ya just shut up and get off this site. This site is for employees and consumers to air their dissatisfaction with IBC, not low life managent that has alot of time on there hands to post because they are not out doing there jobs. If you were doing what you were supposed to do I would not have been filing for unemployment today. They should have let you go when they did thier restructering two months ago Believe me, you will change your tune soon. Just ask Toby.

Route Rep in Lakewood ,you are one son of a bitch. To come out and make a comment like did just goes to show how stupid you are. For somebody who doesn't know anybody in Billings plant you can't make a statement like you did. The only other reason you made the dumb statement you did is you could be management in Billings. So f####k off.

The only thing soars did for the company is keep the same management, only with a different title. We still have the same idiots running the show. The quality of our product is terrible, and nobody seems to care.

Anonymous in Billings: You are Chick N Crap anonymous!! Jerry got the job because no one applied that was worth a shit but Jerry. You hill billies wouldn't know a good employee if he was standing in front of you. I hear Billings is next on the chopping block----hope it's true..

What goes around come around Deb in HR maybe the company does read these posts. If you are let go it is long over due after the way you have treated the employees in the billings area.

Welcome back Jim Elmore. Hope you like your back pay check.

Rumor has it that HR manager in Billings plant is about to get fired . Sound if she has cost company to much money.

i am sorry but i take offence to one salesman who commented,dsm should have their pay cut because they sit on their butts. well this is not true for all. i and yes i am a mgr, have worked my fingers to the bone for this company to make it better for all concerned,especially the consumer who we all ultimately work for.yes i am extremely frustrated with upper mgmt. we, i said WE are going the wrong direction. its OUR fault,letting it happen, mgmts for not correcting it. i have run rts for wks on end and did my job when i got in. sometimes 80+ hours a wk. now i face cuts in my benefits pay and classification. dont put every one in the same box. my sales team (yea, its a team) run 6% returns and over 10% growth a year what do you have to say to that? probably something like i am full of bull right? i dont even need to waste my time anymore w/ you

Mr. King you rock! If the plant in Billings had more employees like you there would be no problems.

you people are working for a ship that is sinking fast . what is it going to take for you to see that this company is up for sale. 7.00 for our stock what does that tell you

Hey Orlando How did you weather out the storm??? Have heard there was some damage to the plant. Somebody answer please...

We were told 160 laid off. Do not know the breakdown. I am sure that production staff will be given walking papers soon if they are not included in the 160. All transport drivers out of Portland were laid off, and as far as I know the route sales people were all combo routes.

if the sec checks last years p/l by plant they will probably find the answear to the demise of ibc. i clearly hope and pray that any one who was involved goes to jail and forfeits all monatery gains. sell your stock the next step in chapter 11. i have some well defined hard copies on eastern division plants that i will be forwarding to the sec soon.

Is there a way for the Union or all the employees to buy out this company?? This is what we should be thinking about. Instead of letting the corparate thieves bring this company down !!!!

All I can say is ENRON.... My pension better be there when I retire !!!!!!!

Last day of work for this company....Thank God! No final paycheck. vacation pay, severance pay etc as promised. When it does come I will cash ASAP before the check SOAR's into default!

hey pomona,who told you that they are cutting 400 routes,that would only leave maybe 100 routes to serve all of southern california,what drive 200 miles a day on a 2 /3 county route.i think you might have the wrong info....

Junior waas promoted to a foreman positionwhen his absentee and tardies were getting close to being fired. I do think their were more quified people that could of taken the job.I do like Junior but how they promote people really sucks. To the guy in Lakewood you are one dumb son of a bitch. You must be the biggest ass kisser in the state of Washington.

I could use some help if anyone has any info - rumor has it Mark Cooper was transferred to Pomona bakery due to some problems he created dealing with racial issues. any info would be appreciated.

I have heard from the boys at the top that 200-400 routes in So Calif will be cut and that Local 63 is part of the negotiations and just before the vote they told us that IBC is requesting these changes for the survival of the company, but they have forgotten to mention that losing 400 routes....HUM, how many transport drivers is that?

Let's see, we have a Vice President, twinky Dickie who was promoted shortly after being caught red-handed stealing from the Glendale garage who used his managerial influence to gain sexual favors from his subordinates...oopps, had a kid, and single handedly ruined the entire western division and then got promoted again- AND YOU WONDER WHY IBC STOCK IS IN THE $7.50 RANGE???!!!!wake up!!

MECH in Billings: Jerry Valentine is probably willing to work without complaining and do his job! You should all pay attention to someone who may help you keep your jobs...quit bitchin loser...

hey tom look out the window and watch transport drivers car trunks open often.

No wonder our stock is falling so fast. We have employees in charge of Maintenance and ordering for Maint. who steal thousands of dollars worh of stuff. I have been here for years and have noticed and heard of one guy sneaking stuff in his lunch box on an almost daily basis. If one employee can do it who is the gatekeeper, imagine others and in all of the plants... Biddeford has a problem-check it out and you will see.

We are having problems with the buns in this plant.

Life is not fair. You will learn that at the billings plant.

Promotoins in this plant do not seem to be based on Qualifications. One foremen Jerry Valentine got a foremen Job based on the fact his dad was a department head. he was in his twenties and more senior employees got passed up who had many more Qualifications. Is this Fair????????????

$7.50 what a joke soar my ass stock this low.what the hell are they doing?the big boys dumped there stock when it was in 30 dollar area.they knew it was going down fast.tom bradford is out some headquarters biggies are out.and still we are going down.shame on you .the guys that work hardlose there jobs.you losers

It almost seems like the good old boys wants this company to fail. At any rate the good old boys made their money and are set for life. The hourly working people will suffer greatly.

Stocks are $7.51 right now.....we are sinking bad

As of today the stock is down to $8.98. Wake up board of directors and clean out the good old boys and replace them with others that are not related or friends. Or is the board of directors part of the good old boys union?

George, your cut and paste skills are excellent. Was there another point you were trying to make?

People complain on this site to vent their anger . To work for a good company and then to see it go to shits because they got greedy . It just goes to say when your ego gets bigger than your pride then things are going to go down. If the company did read this site they would just laugh and say f### them.

Regarding clearing up that this site is not IBC affiliated - obviously some persons are confused. Regarding complaining about "ahole" managers, try the chain of command.

SAP = Stop All Production Remember that the same yeast bags who fattened their bonus by running the company into the ground 5 yrs ago are still running the company.

Yahoo finance message boards. Many shareholders speak of bankruptcy and the stock is almost down to $9.00. When will the good old boys be replaced and get back to basics? Closing plants and getting rid of employees is not the answer. New leadership and fresh ideas and working together as a team is the only way to win. Wake up shareholders and break up the good old boys before we are all out of our jobs and your investments become worthless.
