whats going on in the shipping department

Knoxville, most rsr's have managed to give themselves a raise (wink,wink) What seems to be your problem?

Nope---- Seldom hears "Teamsters" and "logic" in the same sentence.

Damn nice to see some of the best cakemen in the world checking in from time to time. Baron Von Schultzy, Foot, Peanut, Perfectly Pablo, King Howard, Barbi wannabe... All Hall-of-Famers! Even some of the part time Lounge members like Big Sal, No Toes Nesto, Johnny Mo, Danny Boy... Missing them all. BVS, keep the faith Bra. Glad to see A still keeping you in check.

O.M.G. Blah, Blah, Blah.... And all the rest!

Well, another year without a raise, BOONVILLE why the Hell should we do our jobs if we get no returns, no money, insurance is getting worse,we have been promised raises over the past 4 years and now this? and you say IBC cares about their employees BULLSHIT!!! the almighty dollar is all the top dogs think about! you included BOONVILLE

IBC and Judge V can lick my hairy nut sack and tounge my ass while your down there.

hey 85000 without pushing is good I'm glad about the extension it will get me to the magic 35 years thank you boonville.i bet when sept 30 comes around they will beg vetters for another extension .and indy just cause you have a shit contract don't hate do something about it dumbass.

boonie, you are the dumbest insider that I ever encounter with. If you are really an insider like you claim, then you must be high rank among ibc employees, no wonder ibc is in trouble having insider with shit brain like you. DIP financing is very lucrative business. It has the first priority of all debt even before secured debt. DIP will be paid first before any other debt is paid during any plan of reorganization. This does not apply only to ibc but to any other companies in bk. Even if ibc is liquidated, DIP will be paid in full, that is a guarantee. It is paid in full even before the lawyers. Read about their liquidation analysis dumb ass before you post anything. Exit financing is debt after company exit bk; DIP financing is debt during bk. The very first liquidation dollar will be used to pay dip financing. As long as ibc asset is larger than dip financing, the lenders will be willing to lend ibc money because they know they will get their money back and at the same time will be paid very lucrative fees and high interest for providing dip financing. As you can see, it is totally possible and very likely the case that silverpoint exit financing is dead if they believe investing in the new ibc will not earn good return while they are still interested in providing dip financing.

Jamaica the horse in the front at the end is going to win the race, duh. Sorry you only make 85000, want to double down?

to indy don't be jelous just cause I make 85000 a year and you about 40000 soon to hit the magic 35 as the gravy rolls in and you dumbasses will be working for 5 percent commission ill be retired ill be sure to check in on you guys and jung fucks you in the ass. don't hate the player you can hate the game.now boonville your derby pick I'm waitng.

I'm just glad somebody sat down in February and realized that we were losing money on each loaf of bread we put out and increased the price in March. If we could get rid of the lawyers fees and consultants fees we could probably show a profit; oops hold it we're in bankruptcy protection, we can't show a profit even though we are smashing projected numbers. This guy has no idea how to run a corporation only how to milk it.

Guess the Teamsters don't require you to use logic, either, huh?

If'n I could use logic, i woodn't be a rsr. I'd be one of them supevisers

Jesus, fly, he called you out again and embarrassed you, proved you a loud mouth with nothing factual to say, and that's all you can come back with?

boonville give me some useful info like who is going to win kentucky derby this sat?we all know whatever ibc does will blow up in there face. now your derby pick please.

WORKING MAN: How's Terry R. doing?

fly your probably some old fat sales person with sterring wheel marks on your fat stomach that cries to your wife how your fat ass is treated so bad but your fat ass keeps coming to work day after day...

bonne you dont need to point out anthing we know there ass holes

you pieses of shit you no who you are i see them every day in our plant stop crying about how bad it is and move on you cry babies know who you are hell we know who you are you been crying for years leave move on...

cronie go look in the mirror youll see a big pimple no that aint a pimple its your ass hole becase thats what you se every time you look in the mirror fly must be your neibourgh becase your both pieses of shit on the ground in the dog pen

Sorry, FLY, just couldn't pass on the chance to point out the obvious about you to everyone AGAIN. You getting tired of being called out on your own BS?

BILLINGS: I would sincerely, sincerely, hope that your job with IBC is not one that requires that you use your brains and actually THINK things through. This is a really SIMPLE question that even your feeble mind should be able t figure out: Silver point had agreed to provide 400 mil in exit financing to IBC, right? Unfortunately, the deal couldn't get done soon enough and that agreement expired, right? NOW Silver Point is engaged in talks with IBC and Ripplewood, right? Ibc requests additional DIP financing, right? If Silver Point were to bail on exit financing, it would HAVE to be based on one factor, right? That factor would be that they feel that IBC wouldn't survive and would be unable to pay the exit financing back, right? Then why in the hell would Silver Point agree to become part of the DIP financing (go look at the number they committed to the package) if they felt that the exit financing would not be paid back? After all, your perceived reason for the exit financing being dead would be that IBC wouldn't be able to stay in business and pay it back, right? Here's a hint. I asked seven questions. Six of them only require a yes or no answer. The seventh requires you to try to use logic.

George. Fuck you in your big brown spot. Where is your route? In Hollywood ? Bread men rule. Thats why they call us "Wonder."

working man bullshit should be suck boy cause you aint no man a real man wouldn't sell his soul just for a measly pay check and a chance to suck ass you are a disgrace to the human race you pityfull suck ass scum

Wow how things havent changed!!!!!!! I have been laidoff/put back to work/ laid off/ put back to work on numerous occasions......They want us to fret over this.....We have disgruntled employees(aka Chesty) who post nothing but BS on here.....We have management who gives the cherade that this and that and he knows everything on here.....What a joke, laughingstock........I figured it out!!!! I have one life and by this time next week I am out of here......I found another job with a credible company(union also)......The DM tells me they are growing 2 fold and I said let me in on a piece of the action....ok instead of making 85000,,,i TAKE A JOB MAKING 75000!!!!! The kicker is I work mon-friday ......I will take the pay cut gladly.......I get my life back and IBC can get lost.....I feel for all my brothers out there... the ones who have been shitted on....I dont feel sorry for breadmen who are still crying the blues and cant do the job we all did.............You bread guys cant carry a hostess guys jock.......any bread guys want to dispute that.. You bread guys should be ashamed of the job you do........Management has always been an embarassment but you guys are pitiful..... good luck to the rest of you, especially the boys in the city and the oc.......

mr or mrs boonville u must be a girl like the other posters claim now you chose to talk to me what your period is over.silverpoint already made 5.3 million on ibc when the deal expired.anyway now jung has everything he needs concessions investors court approval now show us how to make a profit 14 months on the job and the co is losing more money then ever ..and with the 50 million more in dip money fix the fucking bread for christ sakes good god you guys must be kidding me .you guys raise the prices and the product is worse when you lose a cust to private label u can't get them bake they find out the private label bread tastes better then our crap.and when is jung going to annouce the sale of southeast to bimbo it seems everyone knows about it but the southeast pc.i know you are going to say jung said we would exit non profit pcs and he also said in areas where competion uses indepentdent operators ibc must do the same to compete . so who is bullshitting who those guys down there caved in and gave jung his concessions right away and you still feed them lies of a stand alone co.tell them the truth stop lieing jung has no intentions of keeping southeast pc come clean.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Kansas City has approved Interstate Bakeries Corp.'s increase in financing from $200 million to $250 million and an extension by lenders of its financing agreement from June 2 to Sept. 30. The Kansas City-based company (Pink Sheets: IBCIQ) asked its lenders for more money on April 2. Judge Jerry Venters approved the requests Tuesday. The company also has asked for indefinite postponement of a hearing to confirm its plan to reorganize from bankruptcy. IBC, known for Wonder and Hostess brands, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2004.

fly you aint nothin but a DIP shit take your butt head cronies and move on

I will take care of things as good as I did at Bodine's before they fired me.

you go boon SWAT that fly

The Only one that can save us now is GROUCHO.......Oh wait he did that already and we closed Southern California...................

I know. Having to use logic is a scary thing. And not in a lot of these people's vocabulary.

The only person that can save us is Father Pat Magroin. I think the Pope on his last visit gave him some advice on how IBC can be saved. Please share with us Padre.

BIRMINGHAM: How DARE you ask a question that forces one to use LOGIC????????

So, why would they provide one and not the other??

boonie, again you are trying to prove that you know something but you are absolutely clueless. There are huge differences between exit financing and DIP financing, the two are not the same. It is totally possible that silverpoint exit financing is dead while at the same time silverpoint is still providing DIP financing for ibc with other lenders. What you read in the court document filed on april 28 relates to DIP financing; it has nothing to do with the 400 million of exit financing that silverpoint promised ibc previously.

KNOXVILLE: Yes. Before selling your bakery to anyone, it would have to be approved by the court. also, if you look at the DIP Financing Agreement as part of Venters' ruling on the amended DIP Financing plan (kccllc.net) you will see that there is also a stipulation in that agreement that requires IBC to receive Bankruptcy Court approval prior to the selling of any asset considered to be beyond the "normal course of business". Selling of a bakery or a sales market area would be considered to be beyond the "normal couse of business". I am assuming that you are asking because of the Bimbo visits info that has been posted here?

Mr. FLY: got a question for you...you posted again and again on this board how Silver Point was bailing on IBC and didn't want anything to do with them and that the deal was dead. Please go read the court's ruling on the amended DIP financing. Toward the end of the document is a breakdown of the "lenders" in the DIP Financing. Care to try to take an (un)educated guess at who "SPCP Group, LLC" is? I'll give you a hint: "SP" stands for Silver Point. Now....care to tell everyone now who is on this board spreading rumors, leis, fabrications, and other misinformation?

To; Anonymous of Pomona : You exemplify the reason why the So. Cal. operation shut down. Your moronic, ignorant and stupid comment of why the company should open the Pomona plant shows exactly the reason why the company did the right thing of shutting us down. You must be an uneducated union fuck with absolutely no idea how these things work. Do you think those managers would even consider taking their ex positions back? Go take your extra strength depression and sleeping pills and go back to your drug induced stupor.

Corporate raiders are investors who engage in the act of directed or orchestrating a hostile takeover of a company. Sometimes referred to as a company breaker, the corporate raider often will go after a corporation, with an eye toward selling off the various assets of the company as a means of generating a huge profit. Here is some information on how a corporate raid often works, and what type of financial rewards can come about from acquiring and breaking a company. In order to effectively engage in corporate raids, the raider must have solid financial backing and a clear strategy on how to go about acquiring and then systematically dismantling a corporation in order to generate enough revenue to cover the investment and realize a profit. This requires the corporate raider to have a finely tuned sense of which companies are in a position that is vulnerable enough to allow for the gradual acquisition of control, but still has enough stability and assets to be a desirable target. Generally, this means the company will have an equitable amount of liquid assets or disposable assets, but may be undergoing a slump in their stock price for some reason.

DID YOU THINK IBC WOULD NOT GET ANOTHER DELAY! WHAT A JOKE! I have asked teamster local if and we all know what if is around here! I IBC sells any part of its business why we want to give them concessions of any amount. and since as usual IBC always skirts around the issue. will we ever know wtf is going on anyway? As usual we are left out in the dark to just second quess who is into the REAL PICTURE. nowhere do i see IBC ever mentioning by name the teamster proposal. they just say there are looking at all options. I read someone say about the huge expense of retirement money. cant speak for other unions but lets see. HERE RETIREMENT CONTIBUTIONS FROM IBC STOPPED 2 YEARS AGO. SO PLEASE DONT USE THAT FOR A LAME EXCUSE. IN STOPPING I MEAN THE ADDED 401 CONTRIBUTIONS. AND FOR THOSE THAT TALK ABOUT OWNER OPERATOR THERE ARE NOW 5 ROUTES FROM WESTON ON THE LOCAL MARKET FOR SALE LOCALLY HERE AND ONE PEPPERAGE FARM ROUTE. GAS AND HEALTHCARE EXPENSES ARE KILLING THEM. 2 WENT ON 4 DAY WORK WEEK . 2 OF THEM SAY IF THEY WERE NOT ON THEIR WIFE S INSURANCE THEYWOULD BE OUT OF OWNER OPERATOR. I dont know the answer of our problems. wish i did. all regions sell differently. all routes make different kind of money for their region. i just know about maine region. oh well, WHAT HAPPENED TO CEOs remark last fall about we have only weeks fellows but now it will be months more? do you remeber all those memo he sent? I do

Do you think anyone in the KNOW is actually on this board???

Does it have to go back to court ,to sell parts of IBC .For anyone in the no ,who has the answer.

ibc is doing the same ol thing shuckin and jivin why should we fight it. lets hop on the train and ride as far as we can. managment is.

Interstate Bakeries Corp., with the blessing of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Tuesday received more time and more money to continue its attempt to reorganize. Approval was given to a new financing agreement, which includes lenders new to the group providing so-called debtor-in-possession funds. This agreement expires Sept. 30, an extension of nearly four months from the June 2 date for the agreement it replaces. It also increases the amount of money available to IBC, to $250 million from $200 million. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Jerry Venters said Tuesday after a short court hearing that he thought it was appropriate to give the wholesale baking company more time. �I believe it�s proper and appropriate to do, to get us down the road to see if we�re going to have some sort of plan,� Venters said. Interstate Bakeries is one of the country�s largest wholesale baking companies and produces such brands as Wonder bread and Hostess snack cakes. It has been under bankruptcy protection since September 2004. Among those now providing debtor-in-possession financing is a division of Silver Point Capital L.P., which previously committed to providing IBC with up to $400 million in post-bankruptcy financing. That Silver Point affiliate is providing $82.5 million under the new lending agreement. Interstate has filed a plan of reorganization that has been voted on by creditors, but says it needs more time to modify the plan as it continues talks with undisclosed parties it says are interested in investing in the company. No date has been set for a hearing for IBC to disclose any modifications to its plan. IBC has said if it is unable to craft a successful plan to emerge from bankruptcy under its current management, it also has been working on plans for an orderly liquidation of the company by selling it whole or in parts.

what's the matter boonville you don't sound so smug anymore ha ha ha.

Management coming back for more concessions want to trim swing shift in production to 30 hours with benefits after august we are guaranteed 40 hours or else they are threatening layoffs.They must think the employees are stupid our union isn't worth a shit have nowhere to turn .Any suggestions anyone?

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to my friends and former co-workers of the valley and L.A. I landed a sweet office gig in T.O. and things have never been better! Me and the hottie school teacher are going strong, and my boy is doing great. It was an honor to work along side (most) of you.. KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT!! Good-bye & God bless..

Go Management Bull shit. why should you have a company car and gas card Sell the cars and you pay for your own gas try spending $125.oo a week on gas just to go to work. Your lucky you have anybody to work..

Knoxville as far as I can see it is a rumour. As of 7:30 EST no new news has come out of the court other than the extension request being granted. This might be coming down the road but not at this moment.

Its just a rumor.The teamsters posted this crap.GO MANAGEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IS THIS TRUE OR JUST ANOTHER RUMOR????? I mean about Bimbo's and the southeast???? where can I find the court web site?

Teamsters are a joke.

we hired an idiot last month as our asst chief engineer. what the fuck is ibc doing

Knoxville you got your wish.Bimbo buyer of southeast pc MERITA DOLLY MADISON 5 bakeries 100 MILLION CASH RUMOR NO MORE.

DISCO: I'm not going to go back and find the exact post, but you can do the math for yourself. go back and look at the company's reorg plan, specificially where they discuss repayment of debt. then go back to their previous claims filings and review the secured creditor claims. You will see that they reach almost 1 billion dollars in cash. there are at least three who are owed 450 million, 300 million, and 300 million, respectively.

1:31 P.M. Let the party begin!

Anon in Billings, awhile back Booneville tried to tell me the secured creds were owed over 1 bil. if they were to accept cash as payment in full. The figure I recall was 450 mil. What is the total amount in cash for IBC to get out of hoc? P.S. I think you used to post as YM on another Messb. that a certain sphincter thinks he owns.

I AGREE WITH SPELL BOUND 100%

I agree that Pomona was no 1 in the company with Cooper in charge. However Tom Wilson is why Glendale, La, and San Diego lost money. Eller and Lumley had a lot to do with it also. The company should open it's eyes and relize that the standard of formulas and pans have cost the company millions. Gene Murphy has a lot to do with this huge mistake also. Pomona should reopen and put the dept. heads back in charge when they were making more money than all the other bakeries combined. Dennis laughlin for sales, Bart Selsted prod. mananger, Brian Howell dist. manage r. Mike Cramer engineering, and Tom Whitley sanitation manager. With all the failed projects and idea's company has lost on this one sounds like a winner tome.

To whoever is pretending to be Boonville, nice try. The hearing isn't even going to be until 1:30 pm CST so how could Judge Ventners have ordered the liquidation prior to this?

11:37a.m. Let the party begin!

boonie is trying to prove to everyone he is an insider again. Boonie, you have not respond to my post regarding 500 millions exit financing that you made up? what? Did I catch you off guard? I know all of your stupid tricks man. You come to this board and start throwing some inside info around until someone prove you wrong, then you just pretend not to reply to that person and go on and throw another of your inside info. Most people here are smarter than you think.

Why does everyone blame the union. The union has nothing to do with a company not making a quality product. Plus, for all the those not having any common since, I will list a few companies that are union and are very profitable. Haynes Interantional (USWA=$25/hr), Mitsubishi in Illinois (read the billboard on I74 UAW). Sysco foods (Teamsters), Kroger (UFCWU), Etc... If you blame the union for spreading the wealth, it is because you want to hog it for yourself. Unions are not there to destroy companies, but to spread the wealth. CEO's today make upwards to a 1,000 plus percent more than the workers who support their company. There is a mentality today that a worker does not desreve a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. Instead workers are required to work two or three jobs to support their families, while CEOs get paid thousands to play golf or go boating. Job's float away to Mexico and China. Wake up people, the true global terrorist are our own CEOs taking our jobs to India, China, Mexico........

11.36 am judge jerry vetters orders immeidiate liqidation of assets for ibc .

When wii we know what is going on in court today.

im being blocked out

TO Birmingham: Hey DUMBASS, Who said Tom Wilson was fired?????? Can't you comprehend what you read?

Tom Wilson wasn't fired. He left on his own.

Um, KNOXVILLE "I" didn't post that release today. In fact, look back to "Friday" and you will see that "I" posted it then.....

Wow, Look at what is happeing to us in the West. Norm Andrews - Gone, Mark Cooper - Gone, Tom Wilson - Gone.....If you go back and look at these guys performance and PROFITS before SOAR or Alvaraez, you will see that these 3 men always led the Company in profit. While you may not have liked any or all of them (I didn't), the facts are the facts, and the profit was there. Now that we have been SOAR'd , merged, cut back, and closed, we are worse off that we ever were. Maybe the powers to be need to take a hard look at who is still here, and what is happening to us, and think about asking (maybe begging) to get these guys back and let them do what they did before.......let us make a PROFIT!!!!

To Zinger Bringer: V.P. of customer strategy is in charge of blowing smoke up the customers ass and trying to convince him that IBC has a superior product. Would be a good job for Boonville

BOONVILLE : old news brother!!!! guess you aren't who you say you are!!!!!

LIVE TONITE FOR IN THE MORNING IBC DIES

anon Boonville, MO it's nice to read all the nice things you said about the people leaving. Mainly Tom Wilson I worked for him the last few years and agree with you. TOO BAD he will take all his IBC experance to another bread company. We losse people like him and keep people like JUNG we need help!!!

And make rooutes in the NE Independents and save even more!

nobody would buy a route from ibc they are the laughing stock of the baking industry . and just what we need more vice presidents . bread has 3 day shelf life how does anyone from kraft know anything about bread . macaroni and cheese has a shelf life of about a year apples and oranges . cut upper managment by 50 percent ibc would have record profits .

Decater AMEN!! Its only common sense the only bread companys making money now are IO

To: All IBC Employees From: Mike Kafoure, President � Route Sales Re: Business Unit Organizational Changes Date: April 25, 2008 After 41 years of dedicated service, Larry Worley, Upper Midwest Business Unit General Manager, has decided to retire from IBC, effective May 31. Larry has been a dedicated leader during his tenure at IBC, and his sales acumen and customer relations skills have always helped IBC in the markets he�s served. His unwavering focus on the basic fundamentals of our business has made him a leader in all the key attributes of IBC. We thank him for his contributions and wish him the very best of luck as he takes up more leisurely pursuits. As a result of Larry�s retirement, Rick Krause, Vice President - PTM, has accepted the Upper Midwest Business Unit General Manager position. Rick has worked diligently during the past year to position our Path-to-Market program for success upon implementation, and he�ll bring that same energy and talent working closely with Larry through May to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, Tom Wilson, Northwest Business Unit General Manager, has decided to leave IBC after 29 years of service to pursue other opportunities. We want to thank Tom for his excellent service and leadership during his years with IBC, and wish him luck in his new endeavors. As a result, Bob Morgan, Senior Vice President � Customer Strategy, has agreed to assume the Northwest Business Unit General Manager role on an interim basis to ensure we can continue our momentum in this area of the country. Bob has been serving in the strategy role for about a year, and before that spent several years leading sales efforts in different areas of the company. Bob will leverage his past IBC sales leadership experience to enhance sales effort in the Northwest. Finally, I�m pleased to announce that Jim Goers will be joining IBC as a Vice President Designate, reporting to Jane Miller, Chief Customer Officer. Jim brings more than 20 years of sales, supply chain and marketing experience to IBC, mostly focused in the consumer packaged goods arena, including spending a majority of his career at Kraft Foods. At Kraft, Jim was instrumental in implementing aggressive growth strategies that helped Kraft execute retail excellence and gain market share across 60 product categories. At IBC, Jim will work on a variety of projects to immerse in our business before being assigned a permanent position. Please join me in wishing Larry and Tom best wishes on their future, and providing support to ensure Rick, Bob and Jim are successful in their new positions.

alls jung has to do is sign on the dotted line and ibc is in untill sept 30 the 50 million they gave is acually cheaper than closing the company and having a big mess. come sept 30 they will get another extension because ibc will probably be lookin better at that time sooooooooooo see u at ibc

Lenexa what you say could be a real possibilty. I have been told by others that someone in the Brock clan is the real Boonville.

seenitbefore,your exactly correct,thats what just happened to foxwoods casino,they thought they could keep screwing the help,take aways across the board.now many of them are TEAMSTERS.

go fuck yourself jay kreier

We see the man behind the curtain. Stone cold lock, its Jim Brock. TEAM BOONVILLE.

Kansas City: Carrying that further; Just because IBC is losing money does not mean it is unprofitable? Got to be management speak.

What time is court on 29th

Boonvile aka (Jim Brock): How do you get your work done when you are on this site all day every day? Are you paid by the word? How are your numbers there since this Boonville thing?

Just because the Midwest is losing money does not make it unprofitable.

Team Brock Wantabe: Maybe you could have a Team Brock tea party. NICE!!!

Decatur..... The obvious flaw in your thinking is that although the company can save money on their delivery costs by utilizing IO, SOMEONE will still have to eat those costs. Guess who? You may be a bit naive if you truly believe the company will use profits to improve their products as they won't need to because YOU become their captive customer. Their primary goal then becomes to only make their products cheaper.

Boonville: I thought you were Jim Brock? I am wanting to sign on with Team Brock. I agree with you and Lonnie that Unions are worthless! I wish we could fire all of them. If IBC had more employees like yourselves what a great time we would have.

Since it seems to be old home week , And Im here I would like to give a shout out to some off the best guy�s I have ever had the privilege of working with. Hey Danny Douglas, Steve T. Johnny Mo. Eric from Simi. Mike K. Dave S. MM. The Deal boy�s, Psycho Bob. Big Dan, Little Dan, Billy the wanker, Out there Dave, Johnny P, Edger, Homer, The Mag Pie and her husband, D.J. LL cool T, The call in King, Hangover Billy, Ben S, Sholtzy, Motor mouth, and yes Mitchy Mouse. Hope you all are well.

I got laid off in Oct. And have moved on and am REAL happy. I come here and check on you guys now and again to see how things are going. I read D.J is in marketing. Congratulations D.J. The post also aked what happened to Dirk but nobody answered . I admit I am not a Dirk fan but I would really like to what they did with him. They didn�t move him up the latter did they?? Enquiring minds want to know. And how�s Christy? Good I hope. Good luck guy�s

sceneitbefore is right. Don't listen to Boonville. They want to divide and do away with the union. Think about what would have already happened to you if there was no union. Most of you would be unemployed and mgmt. would stay status quo.

BEST LINE I HAVE READ HERE IN A LONG TIME ! Do what you can to fuck I.B.C and get out. Abso- fucking -lutely!

Are not you all tiered of working for I.B.C yet? There bull-shit goes back years. Come on guy�s join us who have come to the light. Us have got off our lazy whining ass�s and found better jobs and are happy. I make 50 dollars a week less than I did with I. B.C . But I have only been there a couple months . After set raises in a year I will be where I was before , Wk ends off and I don�t go to bed before my children. I still Have my union retirement and yes it is smaller than if I would have stayed with the shit company. But I have a 401k now. The company matches what I put in. Guy�s you�ve been abused long enough . Do what you can to fuck I.B.C and then get out.

Damn im famous you can be too just tell them what to do. 1 tell them their product is garbage they dont believe you dont worry the customers wont buy it and show them. 2 dont believe anything boonenut says. 3 tell him and management to take it up thier ass. 4 Call them cock suckers. 5 This is the most important thing tell one of them to grab a gun load it cock it put it to thier head and pull the triger. Its that easy just remember every contract was a two way street you offerd it we accepted it. Hey its the union and thier members whos at fault. Simple go to the store buy a loaf IBCs wonderful product also buy the other guys bread taste test it and then blame the employes. Hey boone dick go on and find another job with all that edumication and remember that it was an uneducated union member that paid for it ASSHOLE dont ever forget where you come from. I wonder how proud your father would be knowing your here talking about us uneducated union guys . Oh by the way FUCK all of you who dont like the way I post to boonenuts and the company !!!!!

To Anon in IN---- what's your frikin point? No union bashing, just facts. Can you answer any of Boonies questions re: the IBT? If you can't see the truth about the IBT, you truly are a dumbass

I know the Teamsters dont want to hear this. But the only way out of this mess for IBC may be to go to independant ditributors. The company then bakes the product and sells it to the IO's. They can then return some of the profit they make into making their products better. They dont have the HUGE cost of delivering the product to the consumer anymore. The other successful DSD companies are IO's Teamsters, geet the message. IBC doesnt want you, doesnt need you, and cant afford you. And thats all I have to say about that.

Booneville//// Toooo funny! one sentence stating you are not here to sow discord, then the remaining whole paragraph criticizing the union! Was'up widdat?

Pamona:It was people like you that created the unions in the first place by attempting to hire starving desperate people for nothing during the Great Depression. Management are also responsible for minimum wage laws & all other labor protection laws. Put the blame where it belongs, not on the workers.

Boonie, Teamsters have done several things in last 20 yrs. For 1 they have given concessions for the last several yrs! There, that is 1, all you asked for

Pomona.......Sure there are some decent paying non-union jobs out there, but many of them are simply trying to prevent union membership by offering good pay and benefits. They may be non-union but the threat of becoming union is a big influence in their pay and benefit package. Please read prioe post.

Boonville.... You assume I am a union member............wrong assumption, I'm not! As far as naming anything beneficial the union has done for the company, I don't believe it's the union's purpose to necessarily be of benefit to the company but to enable the employees to have a say in their employment pay/benefit packages and working conditions. I agree that some unions have become too powerful and greedy and created many of their current problems, however now the problem has become the corporate executives who are greedy and raping the companies they head and sailing off in the sunset at the expense of the employees. Quite frankly I believe that spreading the wealth among the many is in the best interests of the US economy. Yes, the corporations have learned how to defeat the unions(their employees) but when the majority of the US population is working at low pay, no benefits jobs, if you think Social Security, Medicare and healthcare are serious problems now, you haven't seen anything yet! Although I am not union, I believe they are a necessary evil to maintain the US standard of living and eventually will have a resurgence other than in the public service sectors. Go ahead and cut them down while you have the opportunity.

instead of blaming the workers and the teamsters try fixing what's in the bag dummys. jung has been on job for 14 months still can't fix the product us workers have no say on products here ill be ceo for a day I want a white wheat bread that tastes good and is soft .for christ sake does anyone in managment look at the shit coming out of bakeries.boonville if teamsters are such a problem pull out of northeast we are heavy teamsters up here close us down then you can make a profit . dumbasses . admit some blame in managment maybe it would give you some crediablity .

Anon, Knoxville - I can only relate to my personal experience. Are there good hard working people out there who want to do a good job? YEP. Unfortunately, they are forced to join the union in most states and then are somewhat influenced by the BS spouted by almost every union rep that I have been exposed to as both a union member and a management person. Are there union reps who do not spew absolute nonsense or unspeakable obsenities every time they open thier mouth? Not any more. Used to be some but not any more that I have seen (and I've seen plenty). I have also seen a large number of friends, children of friends, acquaintenses, etc. who are working in non-union positions - not management - who make a very decent living, have very reasonable benefits and get along just fine without some thug speaking on thier behalf or dictating what they should earn. Of course, most of these individuals - but not all - have attained some level of education - like a high school diploma and know how to express themselves in a rational manner without the obsenities seen displayed by many on this board.

Why IBC cant make money?? Sell double bag Giant in Costco for 2.99 Sell Stoneground for 2.46 in Wal mart. But give me 2 for 5.00 Bt Wheat and Giant. This company must miss out at 10s of thousands of dollars in pricing errors a week

Pamona:The vast majority of Teamster workers are hard working employess who want nothing more than fair wages & benefits for their families & for you to demean them as a group is no different that Chesty, fly & dirty's assertions about management. You are no different that they are, only from the other side of the street.

boonie, you are just as stupid as your post. In the silverpoint's deal, the 450 millions of secured debt was converted into new secured debt and convertible bonds. In that reorganization plan, ibc does not plan to pay the secured creditors and unsecured creditors any cash. 100 millions or so would have been given to the unsecured creditors in new stocks. No cash was given dumb ass. Of all the posts that you made, the last one really proved clearly you are a sham and shoddy liar. you are no insider man. go and read their plan of reorganization before you refute me again. All of the information I posted here are public information and they are more accurate than any of your "insider" bullshit.

Boonville, what you see displayed by people like dirty, fly and chesty is a prime example of individuals that could not possibly find and/or hold a job without the insane protection of the union. They are also indicative of many who immediately find fault with anyone who has bettered thier position by transitioning into management even if last week they were loading next to each other (been there, had that). As for the teamsters, if they were truly interested in representing thier membership there would not be a majority of independents in the real trucking industry. The teamsters and the employees who are represented by dirty, fly and chesty are, in fact, the primary reason for the demise of IBC and the struggles of countless other companies. The continued obstinance of unions to recognize changing market conditions is the major contributor to out-sourcing of work, not government subsidies as claimed by the unions and thier liberal buddies in the press.

Anon in Pomona: Tom Wilson NOT Dick Willson. Boonie: Take it easy Bra. Some of us that are a little higher on the Intelligence Quota totem pole are relying on your info. Don't let Chesty, Dirty, or Fly get you down. What is up with MVP? That might be a great theory, but all it will do is decrease sales. Demography and customer requests won't mean squat? Is this a prelude to PTM? Some of us RSRs know a lot more than what #s provide.

SCENEITBEFORE: Not quite right. Not here to sow discord wih anyone. Let me ask you something: where have you found MORE information at, reading the postings on this board or YOUR union leadership? Do you ever wonder why your unions haven't passed on information to you? And you talk about the company??? Think about all the Teamsters' rhetoric that was passed since the comapny entered negotiations last year: what position did the Teamsters take? And what has happened to that position today? And you wonder whether the COMPANY has been forthcoming to you? Did you really think that the Teamsters International would have wanted the negative publicity that would have come with not reachng some agrement with IBC and forcing the company to close? Did you really thinkk that other companies who have Teamster employees weren't waiting and watching to see how the Teamsters handled themselves with IBC? Do you really think that other companies have not now strategized how they are going to handle the Teamsters in the future? And you think the problem is the company and its supposed distaste for the unions? Tell me...exactly what is it that the Teamsters have done for IBC for the last twenty years that was actually beneficial to the company?

BILLINGS: Here's a piece of information that "most" informed people realize: 400 million dollars was the Silver Point number. 100 million was the Ripplewood number. Add them together, and you come up with what? 500 million? DUH. Now...on to other points: do you recall IBC's reorganization plan? Do you recall that it contained a combination of cash/stock to pay off debt? Where in the hell did you think the money to pay off the "cash" portion of that debt was coming from? Did you think that IBC had some secret till, where they are holding cash to pay off that debt? NOW do you understand why the extra 100 mil proposed by Ripplewood is valuable to a reorganized IBC? It is truly amazing how some of you people come on this board, spout complete and utter BS, and try to denigrate, discredit, and attack others who try to tell you what is real and what is fiction. Instead you find people like Chesty and Fly to rally around and believe anything they want to tell you. Understand something: while I work for IBC TODAY, my life will not end if IBC desn't make it through this. My life and my career will go on. I wasn't looking for a job when IBC management recruited ME to assist THEM in this situation because of my experience with working a company through a banruptcy. And I'll have no problems finding work after IBC's bankruptcy, no matter which way it turns out. Wit your limited skills, your limited experience, can you say the same?

Billings..............Most on here have figured out long ago that Boonville is posting on this site with upper management's full knowledge and blessing. Nobody in upper management would be foolish enough and dare to jeopardize his position without it. It is obvious that part of his job is to attempt to influence and provide the company line to union members. It is simply a tool management is using to circumvent laws prohibiting direct negotiations with the union members bypassing the union leadership. Judging from some of the posts on here it is apparent that he has had some success in causing union discord. I'm not saying the behavior and some of the comments of the union leaders have been real intelligent but just remember that historically management is more than eager to cause union discord however possible. Most everyone knows that the elimination of the union is a major goal of this and many other companies. Many have been successful and this will probably be no different.

The hold up is bimbo and sara lee want southeast and northeast both there is a bidding war ongoing will be straighten out by sept 30 . There will be no stand alone ibc .Jung knows there will be no profit with teamsters around.

Flower already has sunbeam in the southeast, and IBC is talking to everybody in all areas, there are competitors everywhere wanting a little of IBC's pie. Believe me, if this company dissolves, no one is safe.

Bimbo to take over northeast use non union RSR,s

Sara lee to buy merita bread in southeast and flowers to take over sunbeam. Ibc to pull out of the southeast all together. sara lee has been in talks with Ibc.

hey kansas we cant show a profit it wouldnt look good in court. thats why there painting all the trucks in worcester and biddeford. leasing land and a brand new double wide in worcester. fixing every trailer with all brand new gear.and selling off old iron (meaning trucks).replacing heaters with brand new stuff. fixing overhead doors.i dont know about your neck of the woods but our trucks go out full everyday .

boonie, stop spreading bullshit man. 500 millions being discussed among silverpoint/ripplewood? do you know WTF you are talking about? did you even look at their forecast financial statement with silverpoint's deal? of the 400 millions exit financing, only 60 millions will be used in the next 5 years! why do they need 400 millions in the first place, no one knows except those few inside the circle? now 500 millions? you must be kidding me. BTW, if you are an insider like you said, then you should know ibc has a contract law firm with at least 10 people on ibc's payroll who regularly monitor this twinkies website. and you should know that they can trace to any computer that you use to post your "inside" info. only the most stupid insider will post inside info on this website since the risk of being caught is too high.

Just because an area makes alot of money, such as the Northeast, does not make it PROFITABLE.

hey ohio you have some big time competion coming up there the same company who mopped up the floors in the southeast with ibc merita is coming your way flowers bakeries see how your ibc managment team does against them then you will see the real problem with ibc..believe me if ibc didn't make a shit load of money up here in the northeast jung would pullout in a ny minute . just like so cal ibc managment can not compete with the managment from other co weston saralee flowers and bimbo ..any one of those would make a profit with this company...you can't blame the guys in the infantry for being sent into a unwinable war .

Yeah, and how many of those "illnesses" are caused by the work force and their attitudes/methodology? That psot was a perfrect example. The Company doesn't do anything without checking with the Union first? Yeah, right! Maybe they ouoght to come see how its done in the rest fo the country, first!

if I'm what's wrong with company then pull out of all union areas and let jung do all the work himself or come up with more then 10000 buyouts .look pal the best way I can describe IBC is a 90 year old man with lung cancer heart trouble diabetic emphsyma 85 pounds you see there are so many things wroung with ibc not just one thing its a terminal case.

Fly you are an asshole. Your last post is exactly what is wrong with this company and why so many companies don't want anything to do with unions. Over-inflated egos, know it all attitudes, corruption, and an inability to manage their own affairs let alone the affairs of a billion dollar company

Good deal. Another transport foreman is leaving. Vern, you WILL enjoy your new life. With all the time you will have at home, I hope you don'tdrive your wife nuts!!!!

ohio you must be non union or non teamster cause up here in ny supervisors know there place they don't do dick without checking with the union . up here the union runs ibc not ibcs supervisors.but like I said those idiots in kanas city don't have a clue as to what does on.i could give you some hints on what to do but there is a good chance without a strong union you could get fired...if you want them let me know .

It's not Dick Willson leaving you noodle dick, it's Tom Wilson. If you're able to tell the difference; Tom is white trash and Dick is a redneck.

Whats up with Dick Willson leaving? Is that due to that post awhile back, about sending in your best guy to fix the bread in So. Ca. before they closed it instead of letting Dick baby sit. They must have looked into it a little further. Go for it!

Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tn.

Who the F--k is Brock? What are you running for President or something? "Jim & Lonnie" how sweet!

i'm having a problem with a supervisor,can anyone give me the number to report this asshole.thank you

Hey we may get lucky and California will get closed down the whole state,then IBC could save some MONEY

boonville you are the only asshole on this site you are so smug I can't wait till ibc sticks up your ass you stay around long enough there get you .jung will keep us informed yeh right what an asshole I would love to shit on his face godspeed

Who gives a sh*t if Wilson quit. They should have fire his white trash ass a long time ago. This guy was never a "team" leader, he was more of a "click" builder.

anyone else know who john wood is??? Is he the complete and total handjob or what ?

BOONEVILLE: Does your wife kick your ass at home constantly or what.?? Do you rally need to feel all that power of being the inside informer you think you are to these people on this site?? Every manager in the company received the Kafoure announcement that Wilson was leaving along with the rest of the management changes. But, if you really were in the know...you would have told all of us 2 weeks ago when Wilson gave his two week notice to go to Holsum. C'mon quit pretending your someone with knowledge and inside information that nobody else knows. Once again...you are a phony who wishes they were someone else and only hope to keep your worthless management position.

Brock, We all agree you are out to lunch.

By the way...did I lie about Wilson/Worley?

Actually, Dirty I wasn't muted by anyone. Two things went on: first, I made a conscious decision to no longer waste my time respnding to most of the assholes on this board (they know who they are). If someone with even a little class or intelligence (Chesty, Fly certainly don't qualify) ask something, I'll respond provided its within the realm of information that can be made puiblic. Second, there hasn't been a lot of information to pass on lately. The Company' request for an extension prety much said it all...continue to work on the two pronged plan of emergence from bankruptcy and orderly sale of asset if we can't emerge. Contrary to what has been said by a few of the unknowing around here, IBC is still working with Ripplewood and Silver Point. The $$$ figure now being tossed around for exit finacing is around 500 mil. Ripplewood and Silver Point have some things to work out between themselves as investors, and then we'll be just about ready to move forward.

To: Anonymous of Knoxville, TN - FOR THE RECORD, THAT LAST POST WAS NOT FROM ME � BUT IT SURE COMES CLOSE TO MY RESPONSE TO YOU -If you really visited California, thank you for leaving your tourism dollars and for leaving back to them hills. If you had stayed, between you and your kids, our state's illiteracy rate would have jumped a good percentage point. If you had chosen to debate with me, you would have not "lowered" yourself to my level � you would have needed to step up to my level. However, I do believe we have some common ground � Like you, I also believe that IBC, through its policies and poor management training, has created a very hostile environment for its union employees (I was in management). You have stated you have a family, kids and a wife � why are you still working for IBC? Stop complaining and go find yourself a better job! There are much better companies and jobs out there.

To: Anonymous of Knoxville, Thanks, you just verified my statement concerning your literacy and just how stupid you are. By your own statements, you are WILLING to let your family/kids do without and complain about not having received a raise in 3 years and about constantly being F_____d over by supervision AND YOU CONTINUE TO WORK HERE! Jeez,

Would someone please post some more rumors about IBC and Bimbo's, seems that I am the only person in the Southeast who HASN'T heard that rumor, or maybe I haven't heard it because it is just a RUMOR!!!!!!!!

MOONSHINE: I HAVEN'T HAD A RAISE IN 3 YEARS, BEEN F--KED SO MUCH BY THE SUPERVISORS HERE IT ISN'T EVEN FUNNY, AND WHAT HAS IBC DONE, NOTHING, NOTHING. SO BEFORE YOU GO CALLING NAMES THINK ABOUT THIS, I FEED MY FAMILY, AND WITHOUT RAISES, MY KIDS DO WITHOUT, SEE IBC DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU OR ME OR OUR FAMILIES, THE JUDGE MIGHT BUT JUNG, AND THE OTHER TOP DOGS CARE LESS, I AM NOT GONNA LOWER MYSELF TO YOUR LEVEL, BEEN TO CALI, WAS NOT IMPRESSED,

To: Anonymous of Knoxville, TN - You are proof of why IBC will not be successful. When most of the work force is as stupid and illiterate as you, we are surely heading for insolvency. Unlike IBC, Bimbo is a very successful international company led by very educated and business knowledgeable "Mexicans". You are nothing but a stupid uneducated redneck.

who am i??? i stink well u all no who i iz

You think Forbes is F---K Up, just remember, you know the devil you have, you don't know what you will get to replace him!!!!

Team Brock currently has 2 members. Jim and Lonnie. We are however accepting applications for our newest team member

If boonville lies then she or he should be reported to the SEC. It seems that she or he was muted by the financial officer!

Hey boonville, You'd better tell Mr. Bob Morgan to bring his lunch! The northeast is really fucked up! This is welcomed change from forbes. It looks like forbes golfing days are over! if he's related to the forbes he surely is gay!!!!

hey chesty,if i do that will i be able to leave then come back to deliver that same day? the Weson rt guys have formed an association,and are getting a laywer to go after this very issue,you'd think our bright mang. team would fight this as well but would rather bend over and take it up the ass as usual.and on top of that,give them better service.dumb asses.

Knoxville, TN , Get off your knees? What are you thinking?

HEY FLY: WE HATE THAT WE ARE BEING SOLD, BUT LIKE IT WAS SAID THEY MAKE MONEY AND MAYBE THEY WILL SHARE IT WITH THE EMPLOYEES. WE STAND A BETTER CHANCE TO GET RAISES WE A BUCH OF MEXICANS THEN OUR OWN PEOPLE

Buffalo NY in So Cal before these mofos closed us kroger was doing that. If your receiver is cool he can over look it if the guys an ass just tell him to cancel the order because you wont be delivering to him that day. Now I know guys like boonenut will tell you thats wrong but so is everything this management is doing by canceling your order they cant charge you because you did not deliver. What happens when your reciever makes a mistake or goes to lunch or closes early can you charge him I think not. Nobodys perfect except boonedick and jung so they think and I dont think they should charge us for an honest mistake.

I've got a present for those of you in the Northwest....Mr. Wilson is on his way out...say hello to your new Market Unit VP.....Mr. Bob Morgan. Also, Larry Worley is headed into retirement in the Upper Midwest....say hello to your new VP...Rich Krause...formerly VP of PTM!! Looks like Upper Midwest may be the pilot center for everything PTM.....

to anyone who might know,here on the East coast,we have three stores that have been billing the co. $50,$100 $200 for rt guys that make a mistake on their orders.how can this be legal.now one of the stores say their going to also charge for every piece of off code,dirty shelves.nobody's perfect,including them.who's to say they go grab a few pieces of product,leave to go out of code,then put it back on your rack only to charge you for it.anyone eleshave stores doing this?

Well said Kansas City. IBC was BAd for us..

If IBC hadn't taken over Wonder and Hostess they would not be in this mess

Bimbo at the bakery again I geuss we are being sold down the river by jung. we gave him concessions right away when ibc asked and this is what we get. THE fly is right the brands are being sold and they don't tell us anything.BUT I see they are here and they want this bakery human resouces moved out of buiding to stay open through transfer fuck you craig jung you really are an asshole it seems the one guy who we all thought was an asshole the FLY was the only one who was right the whole time.

I love it boonville is grumpy that means some really bad shit is coming down the pick ripplewood wants to much maybe or selling of brands sell merita to the mexicans they got money flowers is afraid of bimbo so afraid they are on top of the world right now how u guys doing down there do u guys know white wheat will be on rollback for up to 6 months to a year just to drive the nail in the coffin your on the ropes just go down sell to bimbo before merita aint worth dick

BOB: have you heard anything about the southeast? Boonville just says the same stuff over and over, I think he or she is lieing to us. Can you tell us down here what is really going on

hmmmm more financing to get through the most profitable time of year go figure. ithought i was going to have the summer off.

Please, please, please, lets all remember that we are all in this together. IBC does not want anybody to lose their jobs. If everyone gives 110% we will work through this. JOIN TEAM BROCK; Don't get left behind. Thank you for your time.

Better ya all leave now while the gettin is good. Ya be in the food stamp line and no gas for your ride. Get out before some dude gets there first and you end up livin in the park with a shoppin cart.

Dear Akron: We need people like you to stay off the board. I'm far from an idiot. And you obviously had nothing to say. Another loser piece of management?

Rick you're an idiot. Why don't you and your hard working drivers contact your buddy Barak Hussein (the choice of Teamsters nationwide) and see what he's gonna do for you? Asshole.

It's pretty obvious that management is stealing this company blind with bonuses, etc. If you failed at your job, or did something wrong would you get extra money for it? Of course not. But they have and continue to do so. If you people are really interested in doing it right, contact your nearest Senator and/or Congress person and put the bug in their ear. It's an election year you know! What upper level management is doing to this company and its hard working drivers is a sin. Stop the back-n-forth cursing and write a letter, or make a phone call. This company is another ENRON in action.

it sure is being nice to be from NoCalifornia we have class and do not haveto use foul langauage like the JO's from east of the sierrias the company is going to come out of it ofwith some concessions

So whats next, we wait to see if ibc presents there plan to the judge on the 29th. or he will shut the company down. Assuming ibc cooperates and presents a plan, then what? Judge will either grant some kind of extension or set some type of deadline. Does this sound about right?

2 prong, im a pull up guy with one big prong for you

JOHN: You might want to ask someone who knows, Boonville maybe kinda peed off

Booneville, Could you please give us a update on what is relly going on? We are hearing about huge manpower and budget cuts. How are we suppose to pull out of this with less people and less money. Yes we can trim some but, why wait until now? We have had three years to work on this. How bad is this going to get?

BOONVILLE why are you mad? I asked and you never answered, then others asked also and you act mad, you know more I agree with FLY, you either know or you don't know, leaning to don't know right. YOU GO FLY!!!!!

My Name is Jane and I'm an ignorant HR Manager

Another boonie bullshit: almost 2 months have passed and no agreement with ripplewood/ibt, boonie predicted ibc needs 2 more months, therefore a total of 4 months to reach agreement with ripplewood/ibt eventhough he claimed there are only a few minor unresolved issues. Boonie, why don't you tell the truth: unlikely there will be any agreement. The silence from both ibt and ibc, no schedule date/time frame when an agreement is expected, no mention of ripplewood in their recent news release all indicate that jung is selling the company, that is why it takes that long.

so much wrong here with this company. Our pull up guys ( bread & cake guys that divide territory & do both for $175.00 for up to 9 hours) are teh lazy. The guy that did it yesterday left bread in back because he thought enough was on the shelf. Needless to say honey wheat ran out & so did the premium hamberger buns. Our boss doesn't care. Oh by the way we don't touch cake even if it needs it. What a way to run a business. WAKE UP John A.

boonville you are a liar ibc has there concessions and more then they asked for from teamsters they have investers ripplewood they got extensions from judge and more dip money .ASSHOLE there is no need to talk to bimbo they have all the tools to emerge that means they plan to sell southeast to bimbo you must really think the employees are stupid we can see right threw your bullshit..you got ripplewood teamsters concessions silverpoint paid off judge extensions whatelse do you want tell them down south the truth merita is going to be sold to bimbo .

For those of you who CANNOT READ, have no sense of RECALL, or are too LAZY (you're all hard-working RSRs, right?) I will REPOST what I said EARLIER about BIMBO: Do you recall Craig Jung stating that from March 14 forward, IBC was going to take a TWO_PRONGED apporach from that point on concerning IBC? The two pronged approach involves (ONE) continuing the same path toward settlement with Teamsters, securiing additional DIP financing, and securing new post-bankruptcy financing (this is known as completing the plan of reorganization and gaining approval of it from the court) and (TWO) a plan to prepare for the orderly sale of assets in case prong (ONE) was unsuccessful. This includes talking to competitors (such as BIMBO) about assets of IBC they may wish to buy IF PRONG ONE IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE. Is that explanation clear enough for YOU?

Continues Confirmation Hearing Interstate Bakeries Corporation (IBC) (IBCIQ) today announced that it has executed a commitment for financing with certain of the existing lenders under its current debtor-in-possession (DIP) credit facility, other new lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders, that provides for an amended and restated credit facility to replace the current DIP credit facility, which expires on June 2, 2008. Under the terms of the commitment letter, the maturity of the DIP credit facility would be extended to September 30, 2008 and the amount available for borrowing under the DIP credit facility would be increased from $200 million to $250 million. The commitment is subject to a number of conditions, including final documentation and Bankruptcy Court approval. Today, IBC filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri seeking authorization to enter into the amended and restated DIP credit facility and requesting that a hearing on this matter be held on April 29, 2008, a date that had previously been held on the court�s calendar. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing on the terms proposed in the amended and restated DIP credit facility, or at all. The Company also announced that it has asked the Bankruptcy Court to continue its plan confirmation hearing, currently scheduled for April 23, 2008, to a date yet to be determined. The Company said that additional time is necessary for it to continue its ongoing discussions with multiple parties regarding modifications to its plan of reorganization, and related exit financing, that would allow IBC to emerge from Chapter 11 as a stand-alone company. This additional time is also needed for the Company to continue to pursue the on-going sale process which was initiated to sell all or portions of the Company�s businesses and assets in the event that a stand-alone reorganization plan is not achievable. The Company intends to file further pleadings with the Bankruptcy Court regarding either of these options as appropriate. About the Company Interstate Bakeries Corporation is one of the nation�s largest commercial bakers and distributors of fresh-baked bread and sweet goods, sold under various brand names, including Wonder�, Merita�, Home Pride�, Baker�s Inn�, Hostess�, Drake�s�, and Dolly Madison�. The company is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. Interstate Bakeries Corporation filed for bankruptcy protection on September 22, 2004, citing liquidity issues resulting from declining sales, a high fixed-cost structure, excess industry capacity, rising employee healthcare and pension costs, and higher costs for ingredients and energy. The Company continues to operate its business in the ordinary course as a debtor-in-possession.

If you can't get along i'll just shut it all DOWN!!!

Boy Am i glad i don't come here for imformation. Beacause you are all full of shit. The bread guys against the cake guys everyone against the pull ups some for teamsters some against some against jung and then again some against booneville. everyone against management. No wonder this co is in the shape it's in NOBODY likes anybody..

HEY AMAZED- I DONT THINK THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE ON HERE THINK ABOUT THAT. THEY THINK WHATEVER IS ON HEAR IS TRUE.

Did you people ever think that maybe the people posting aren't really who they say they are? Especially since you can type in any name? Get a life, people.

Boonville why don't you answer the question about Bimbo's in the south, well??

Help! I.B.C. is crawling with BROCKROACHES.

Remember the family that works together, stays together!

Anyone wishing to shut down this site please contact myself or Jim Jr. or Lonnie Brock.

hey AL,how much money did you end up losing when you sold your oh so valuable stock?it sounds like you took a bath.

web master you should think about shuting this site down....

thank you all...due to what i have read here in the last few months i have sold my stock... i did so based on my read of the quality of the managment and generally un gratefull employees... the bad attitude, bad mouthing , the admission of obscene waste and abuse of the company is sad.... if i was the managment i would not be able to show my face at the next national or international bakers conventions... i may go this year just to see the face's of the men that let this become such a mess.... right now they can blame high commodity costs, but this problem has been developing for years... and they need to feel nothing but shame.... and the regular workers can not be overly proud of the work they have either... real sad.... so thanks. when all you big "wholesale" bakers are gone, and you all will be, the little guys like me will again have the market...

Hey T-shirt guy. I made one that said. " Hey Jung suck my big harry cock you fucking piece of shit fagg" but all I did was get a bunch of dirty looks. Not one person asked me about it. What do you thing I did wrong?

Hey guy's .Havent been here in a while either. T-shirt guy is on the money. Same shit as when I left. Is it true D.J. got a marketing job? Does he think there grooming him to replace Jung yet? I guess he's to busy to get on here and correct everyone�s spelling now. And what about that big lazy arrogant do nothing Dirk off. Have they moved him up the latter yet? This company will never change. Yes and Die quick I.B.C.

Haven�t been here in a couple months. I�m so sorry for you guy�s , same shit as when I left. You guy�s will be so better off when the shit hole closes down.. I while it is small am doing my part to help. I print good quality t-shirts as a hobby . I have printed various anti- I.B.C. shirts that I ware but by far the one I get the most response from is the one I made that says , Ask me why Then I have Hostess in its Trade mark style then the word suck�s . I have had at least fifty people ask me. I go on to tell them about Dung and your board of clown directors and no lye about forty five promised not to buy any more hostess. The cool thing is my new boss lets me wear my shirts to work.. Good luck guy�s I hope I.B.C dies soon for you all.
