Any news on the Northeast? I'm sorta caught in between. I have 15 years in, late forties so I can't take an early retirement. Are we sold or closed, or neither? Thanks.

It's Labor day weekend, take a couple of days off, you deserve it! Nothing is going to change in the next couple of days so quit wooring about it, go out and have some fun.

sat Aug. 30th 2 drivers screwed up their orders for today. it was an order adj. day. I think were 9 days out now with no adj. for 2 weeks. anyway manager blames drivers and tells them be glad this mistake wasnt taken out of your check. when he should be thankful it wasnt taken out of his check for not checking orders like hes supposed to. typical IBC manager not taking responsibility and blaming someone else.

Bad news that I might not be part of the dieing ship S.S. IBC ??? we might be the lucky ones,say what you want I'v heard that weve been sold to everyone and the only post i'v read that makes sense is the guy who said very few know whats going to happen.At this point im wishing were sold so I can either work for a viable company or move on.

all right, how many of you pussies went to work today? you didnt have the balls did you?

to all u dickhead managers out there. your time is coming soon. your big heads and egos will not take u far. u think u are safe think again. yes labor may be trimmed first, but dont think u are safe. you will probably be replaced much sooner than us.

nobody on this site gives a fuck about politics. this is not why we come to this sight. keep your worthless opinions to yourself we dont care dickhead. we come here to talk about the company, not mcain or obama. go to another site with that bullshit. idiot

st Louis.......dude if the message board bothers you so damn much, change your fucking homepage. No one makes you look at it. That goes for all the people that get on here and accuse people of lies and other shit... Its a message board, take from it what you will. Some Idiots post bullshit one here, some dont.

please come to this plant and talk to each worker one at a time and you will find something out about this plant.

remember to put our sights on placing the key employee idea to both the rank and file.if a company does not care about all their workers they are doomed to fail. im not accusing the company of this but merely saying all people in this company are important. honey goes farther than vinager.and rome did not fall in one day but it did fall.

whats going on in philly anyone knows? Everyone talks about every where else but philly.

IBC is NEVER going to make money. The baking industry isn't able to support all the fat cats at the top. They've been playing a shell game with accounts ever since they bought CBC. It's all finally caught up with them. It's over.

As explained earlier this week, the legal documentation will be presented to the court next week after Labor day has passed. For those who are checking the KCC link for court documentation, note the disclaimer at the bottom stating that information listed may not be complete as the site lists for the conveniance of the public. There has been a marked lack of activity on the KCC site since this address was posted onto this board earlier in the week. We will find out the details beginning Tuesday.

Listen guys we will hear more after the holiday, please believe me if it wasn,t true I wouldn't post it, it will move quickly and sales of brands and bakeries I mean. again listen to facts not rumors!

thanks in the know thanks for nothing

http://www.kccllc.net/ibc Go to court doc this should help some out with info.

thats what i thought

post the link dink

It`s official "In the know" is now a certified ahole.

In the know is more like NOT in the know. There is nothing on the court site to reflect any sales, other than the thrift store properties in LA.

How do you get to the bankruptcy court site?

hey you guys, look on the court doc. it is starting now, here we go, southeast Bimbo's and weston, norteast closing down, deep south sara lee west mostly bimbo's and sara lee, flowers sat it out, fly must have scared them

hellllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooo

Oh my goodness...I just got to the branch and there's nothing there!!! No trucks, no employees, no product.... nothing! I can't believe it! Then I farted and realized I was dreaming. Oh, well. I think I'd better call in sick on the 30th just to make sure I'm okay. Tee hee, hee. I wonder if the branch will be there on Tuesday.

There will be no more than normal midnight oil burning at KC this weekend. All is in the hands of the legal team at this point. All that can be done has already been done with the same result. It is now out of our hands.

are the boys in headquarters woking this weekend? I bet they have a half day friday, off saturday, sunday, monday and so will your union business agent. i urge everyone to call their locals this weekend and holiday, you will get an answering machine beginning at noon friday

YOU IBT DOPES HAVE BEEN SOLD DOWN THE RIVER.............. More twists and turns in I.B.C. saga (Bakingbusiness.com, August 28, 2008) by Josh Sosland --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bankruptcies are never pretty, but the bankruptcy of Interstate Bakeries Corp. took an especially ugly turn this week with two public declarations by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. In the first, the union asserted it had reached an agreement with Ripplewood Holdings L.L.C., a would-be buyer of I.B.C., but the deal has been held up by "balking" creditors at the 11th hour. "These banks and hedge funds are once again going to disappoint all of the 23,000 employees of Interstate, just like they have disappointed the nation with the mortgage debacle," said Richard Volpe, who heads the Teamsters baking industry team. In a self-congratulatory announcement three days later, the Teamsters said a new pact between the key parties had been reached after the union "worked through the night" to bring the sides together. None of these statements was confirmed by other parties, and exactly what transpired remains murky. But it is abundantly clear by the statements that the Teamsters are anxious to deflect criticism from their members and other I.B.C. workers. With time running out on debtor-in-possession financing, the question of whether I.B.C. will emerge intact looms as large as ever. The Teamsters clearly are on the defensive about the thousands of jobs imperiled by the union’s strident opposition to reaching an agreement with management even after other, larger unions had come to terms with the company.

its weton not westin idiot, and bimbo owns entemanns in the west

reality bites back!

there is no feakin way I am working on Aug 30. Im taking the day off!

Yes, I can see Westons' plan..Let's take over the entire US, it worked so well for IBC!! Nothing easier than trying to control all the regional markets from the Atlantic to Pacific.

Hostess, you are full of it. GWB has no affiliation with Ripplewood. Do you even understand how they distribute, where their plants are located, what existing contracts they have, how they us independent distributors and contracted deliverymen??? Grupo Bimbo already has EXCLUSIVE rights to distribute Entenmanns and Thomas products from GWB in the southwest/west.

Yes, I'll believe someone named anonymous? I guess it's a DONE DEAL? LOL!

Listen,this is how it will end up. George Westin is involved with Ripplewood Holdings. They want to bake and distribute their own products. They want the employees of IBC to bake and distribute their products like Entenmann's,Thomas Muffins and Sunmaid. Their agreement with Bimbo or Orowheat to bake and distribute these products is coming to an end.In the end,we will distribute Wonder,Hostess,etc. along with Westin's products.This is where all this is headed.You can't prove me wrong because i'm right. Have faith IBT members,it is going to be all right.BELIEVE IT.

Dem cards,... day never lie! ..........

Damn,...... Ms Cleo, I should have married that witch when I had my chance!

I wouldn't put any money on the ripplewood deal. We just went though 250 million fucking dollars! Now who would stupid enough to throw more money at us? I would be shocked if it happened.

Boon ie,you said the co. will sell off the Lesser brands they own.what are they?

Boon ie,you said the co. will sell off the Lesser brands they own.what are they?

Ripplewood's Mr Murphy was at local 550 on Tuesday.The deal will go thru.Mr Vople statement about greed today was his way of saying the teamters are going to give back more than the original planned.The plan is back loaded..meaning what we give up now we will get back at the end of the contract if the company is making money.Keep the faith.we will survive!

Boonville was correct whether some admit it or not. When Volpe "announced" that a deal had been made with Ripplewod and the teamsters, Boonville observed correctly that Ripplewood never confirmed it or filed the necessary paperwork. Volpe is under tremendous pressure to obtain an agreement ar make gestures toward an "agreement" in order to save face among the International. Unfortunately, as predicted, this deal could not happen. It has become too late for IBC to be "saved" in the present form or as the teamsters would like. The teamsters are fully aware that the court will be presented with legal filings to sell-off certain assets/areas. The final details are now worked out on which offers, and there are several, were evaluated and have been given the green light to act upon. The press release was aimed to shed as much blame as possible off of the teamster negotiating committee and once again on to the creditors. The timing of this was critical, we can all come to the obviuos conclusion, within the next several days the "deals" will be petitioned to the bankruptcy court.

Yes, chains and padlocks for some areas. No doubt.

look ripplewood is not giving any money to the current managment to blow managment must be replaced ibc is not going to give up control of company workers are not going to work for half pay chop it up and let creditors get paid they have been waiting four years that it nothing more to discuss if they couldn't agree this past year its not going to happen get the chains and paddlocks out!

The biggest problem with corporate America today is this focus on quarterly profits and not looking for long term success. This obsessing with out sourcing and off shoring. Both blue collar and white collar lose jobs. Hey maybe one day your new boss will hire a Psychology PhD from India (over the internet) for a quarter of your salary, That would suck, Yes?

Boonville, MO, Keeping them their longer then needed? I won't bother going back to look at your posts. I'm only stating nothing would have helped them get out of bankruptcy, It was to late for any deals or give backs to help. Why would you want us to give back money when I.B.C.'s fate was sealed? I think you knew that from the start.

Boonville do you think IBC will do anything or just get more money.

BIDDEFORD: Good post...thanks for putting the text out there for everyone to read. Now...THINK about this: Do all of you recall when Volpe FIRST introduced Ripplewood to IBC? REMEMBER when he said HE had worked out a deal with RIPPLEWOOD and all IBC had to do was accept it and all in the world would be ok? Remember I told you that IBC would disect that "deal" before they decided to accept it? Do you recall that IBC never did accept it? AND NOW, Volpe claims that "greed" is entering the picture and the CREDITORS and Ripplewood can't come to agreement and he "hopes" they can work something out? Remember me saying something about the CREDITORS have NO interest in getting involved in any "deal" with the Teamsters? Oh, and DIRTY, I never blamed the Teamsters for putting IBC in bankruptcy...just for keeping them there longer than needed.

How do you like that Jerry shits his pants now he is running for president instead of running to his van for some fresh pants!!

sounds like to me Volpe is trying to save his face and DAMNED be the rest of US!!!! can't even trust our union leader

then why all the hype last week when they said they had a deal this isnt good at all. the 30th is a go screw the banks.

Text of Director's Message: Interstate Bakeries Update A Message From Director Richard Volpe We understand that many of our members are anxious for news about Interstate Bakeries Corporation and what may or may not occur with its bankruptcy situation. We are following this situation very closely and are actively engaged in talks. Ripplewood Holdings has made an offer that has not been completely accepted by the banks that secure debt in the company. Ripplewood and the financial institutions are continuing to meet for talks to hopefully come to an agreement. These financial institutions have been seeking many concessions from our members and it is the position of the Bakery and Laundry Conference that they are allowing greed to take over, while the livelihoods of 23,000 hardworking men and women, 10,000 of whom are Teamsters, are impacted. Ripplewood and the banks are currently trying to work through their differences and the Conference is remaining vigilant and informed on these talks. We expect a decision to be forthcoming. The Bakery Conference endeavors to keep members up to date on news that affects the bakery industry. Please visit this site frequently to check for further updates on Interstate and other firms. source: http://teamster.org/c-clamp.aspx?id=2138

http://www.inews3.com/play.php?first=Dick&last=Hurtz This is the candidate IBC and the Teamsters are supporting.

I am floor supervisor for this company, and I think this guy Fly is wrong, we have great employees here and they should be informed of what is going on, and for the record some of us in management try to do what is right for both the employees and the company, we have to foloow the rules layed out by K.C.

this just in, the great and powerful FLY will open his own bakery when his is closed down, he is all seeing and all knowing. follow his leadership, sorry i had to get my shot in

Go to the teamsters website-go to bakery/laundry-read the directors update. There still is no deal. From now on do not believe anything coming out of Volpe or Hoffa`s mouth.

Ohh MY GOD jerry in yuba city is running for president!!!! watch this news story!!!! you have to click on the "play" tab, it's very small http://www.inews3.com/play.php?first=jerry pooped&last=his pants

TIJUANA EXPRESS, ARE YOU READY TO GO BACK TO WORK? IT WILL HELP YOU LOSE A LITTLE KILOS.

more info to come out after the holiday.....

If all goes as we are being made to believe and IBC will survive only in the midwest, it will be interesting to see how IBC treats their undefunded pensions as Central States Teamster pension plans are the most severely undefunded. I can't see how the employees IBC will be relying upon to grow their business successfully will share the enthusiasm when their pension fund is taken over by PBGC and their promised benefits are reduced by 50%. Yea, that would sure motivate me!

FLY: It's time to shut your uneducated weakass trap. You are a fucking idiot that takes pride spewing worthless shit on this worthless website. Everyone here knows you are a real dumbass. --- --- now SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU LOSER!

I don't think this well ever be over! .....I.B.C. is like a cocker roach after a Nuclear Blast.

Is it over yet? Fuck this company called IBC

Change is good and thats what we need...........................

Boonville, maybe one day you'll come to realize that the workers shouldn't have to pay for the mistakes of managements and what you're doing is evil and the people you work for are evil and they're ruining this country! Maybe one day?

Boonville!!! You finally admitted it!!!! The company caused this bankruptcy by overextending, In other words it wasn't the unions fault! I never thought I see you print the truth about what really happened. Thanks

if you guys don't know how to bake bread you won't sell anything the competions bread is 100 times better jung could shrink the company down to his back yard if you don't fix what's in the bag you will fall right on your face !

boonville that is nothing but a pipe dream that even you don't believe yourself proof that you quit ibc the fact is the people running ibc only know how to lose money that is a fact just ask jp morgan chase so you now expect us to believe they can make a profit buy leaving the biggest markets and scurrying to the middle states Pipedream just like that stupid path to market vidieo I mean honestly boonville you would know does jung cut a few lines of coke before he comes up with these half baked ideas .cant wait to see how long you guys last .....

there's only two ways to make ibc a profit have workers work for half pay or clean out the fatcats!!!!

you all can point at me I can take it but when the shit hits the fan I bet there will a hunt for that guys head you know who he sent you that stupid dvd another waste of money ...

Damn, FLY...you just don't get it, do you? IBC is going to emerge as a company...a smaller, leaner, regionalized company. The problem is that IBC tried to stretch coast to coast, border to border, all at one time by buying up other companies. It didn't work. You used to like to compare other companies' umbers with IBC's....remember that? Name ONE of them that stretched coast to coast border to border like IBC did. IBC will shrink in size, but will be better off for it. It's number one and two costs, labor and commodities, will shrink accordingly. The monies realized from the selling off of lesser brands, facilities, and the exit from some markets will be utilized to pay off debt and to grow the company in the existing regions. The face of the labor face working for IBC will change as well, with different work rules, different methods, and smaller numbers of employees.

K.C. don't let fly drag you down to his level, we (all on this board) have caught fly lieing and just getting the whole work force in an uproar. so no one really believes that mother fucker, he is one YOU guys in K.C. should have weeded out long ago and all teamsters know it is the truth.

never said we didn't have great employees you assholes in KC keep them all in the dark and its bullshit we are not kids we can take the truth even if the truth is we will soon be ripped apart by the buzzards and there is no employee that would not agree with me about this all you fucks in KC are so arrogant there even till the end we will see how smug you guys are when the reaper is standing over your head with his sickle in his hand! and I can't even believe that you guys think you all are going to have a small central states ibc its all or nothing my friend .what are you guys planning haveing a mecca of all the ibc fatcats to come to central states to work ibc would be bankrupt two months after emerging ......

Fly, when will it ever sink in that there are many, many excellent employees that have real concerns. All that you seem to care about is creating duress among them. Never any constructive criticism from you. The facts are what they are. Take them or leave them. If you folllow the case and the literally the 1000's of documents which include the SEC filings, you would learn something. you might even gain a little knowledge of how things ended up this way. You can blame the board of directors, you can blame the shareholders, you can blame Ralston, blame Continental, you can blame the teamsters, you can blame your co-workers, but what's the point? The company became too large for its own good, ran the profit centers against one another instead of working together to beat the competition. Everything had a part in it. They leveraged/borrowed themselves to the brink...then the jump in commodity prices pushed them over. A lesson of don't put up the farm as collateral to borrow money. If you became lost trying to follow the link, then try kccllc,net/ibc. This will give you some insight other than just MFing everbody and everything. There are a tremendous amount of great employees trying to do their job no matter what happens. Either accept the facts or go cry on someone elses shoulder.

kc we all know that shit about checking courthouse the fact is that jung is a sneaky motherfucker he talked to employees when he needed to get that bakers vote to try and get that 400 million from silverpoint that bullshit interstates future website has not been updated since may 9 that's three fucking months the workers aren't as stupid as you think they know there goner get fucked but at least communicate to let them know when to bend over.....i hope to god that monarch and jp chase rip this company to pieces they total deserve it!!!!! asswipe!

Sorry, but there are very few who know entire plan, by design and for obvious reasons. The best advice for employees will be to watch the legal filings that occur. This can be done by looking under the bankruptcy court filings. The address is www.mow.uscourts.gov. You will see a link on the right lower side of the bankruptcy court page that will connect you to the IBC case. Follow this and check the court documents tab. They normally update the daily filings later in the evening. Check daily and do not listen to people getting off by causing anguish among others. This is where you will find and learn what is happening to the company and what the real story is. Bottom line is: Look for movement in this case either late Friday this week or sometime next week after the Monday holiday is over. Time is very close to running out on IBC as it stands. As I said, only the very top echelon have the whole picture but it has to become public knowledge soon. Good Luck to all. Note; This is also where you can examine the Monthly Operating Reports as they are entered in the record.

speak for yourself biddeford. its quite a big bun and bread holiday for us.

that's the whole problem with company that fucking board every move they make is wrong and causes us to lose money clear out board and jung and his gang of knitwits let the employess buy the company then your make some money how hard are the workers going to work with a knife sticking out of there back!

K.C. when will we hear about the final plans of IBC? please don't lie to us as some have in the past

Legal team meeting with board this week fianalizing plans. Next week court will be presented with documentation.

its not a bun holiday. and i dont believe we"ll hear anything next week either.

KC i think it will be after labor day before any news ,they don't want people mad on last big bun weekend.

peoria you are exactly right. our managersdo the same thing. show up late and leave early 4 out of 5 days a weak. we have two shipping managers that work the same hours. one is supposed to be on nights but is allowed to work days. and they wonder why every thing gets screwed up at night. then the day and midnight shifts have to run around picking up the slack. this company is a joke. can not complete simple task. dirct loading is a joke. yes it keeps the floor clean, but other than that it only makes peoples jobs harder and more confussing. hey booneville thanks for saving our managers asses by makeing buns for us. these idiots fucked up and would have ended up short 500+ racks because they were two stupid to schedule production. nothing will ever change with these people running this place.

You people and this site has to be the laughing stock of the country...LOLOLOL...Move the fuck on already...I check this site about once a month, and its like a broken record on here...SSDD!

NO ONE IS IN N.C. FROM HERE who is this FLY GUY and why is he lieing to everyone? you all will know by the end of the week what is going on,please don't listen to rumors, listen to the facts

Fly no one is here, try lieing to Flowers for a change

no FLY no one is here or at the bakery i drove by there you are a lieing,no good piece of shit, yankee shit, i don't mean all you people up north just FLY, goota an idea go live with your dad a while maybe he can make you quit lieing

One who Knows, I have been to my accounts today, have you?I try and not miss a sale.

Come on, guys, We all know that if the flysays it, it must be true! We all know that he wouldn't talk OUT OF HIS ASS, would he?

Onw Who knows: your probably another one of those take it easy route ones.

Peoria Driver: I know who you are and you really shouldnt be bitching about not taking care of business. You are one of the worst offenders.

rocky mt you are the winner that's where they are nc but don't worry boys they will be bring the grim reaper tour to you all in the next few days Fly out have a great week you all . ha ha

still don't believe hu .the funny thing is that the only chance you boys have to survive is if a yankee volpe and ripplewood can steal ibc away KC wrote you guys off long ago sorry but truth hurts!

Well fly lieing again no one is here

General Sales Manager John A, worries more about taking care of management and former management and not on sales. Our Product quality is crappy , we constantly get shorted and low and behold no one knows where it is or where it went.Shpping is a joke,Management leaves early, has no clue how to get product to depots or what they did send.They need a shake up and put people in place that care about the company and sales.We have accounts that arent getting recalled, that complan they run out and John A just ignores it, drivers in this plant other than the few and rare are more like management, lets see how fast we can get out and in and get paid for being at home, and then complain we arent making money.Our job and Managements is and should be Sales and Customer satisfaction.

kc isn't here fly your a jack off

If more spent time selling bread than spreading rumors and gloom and doom , perhaps IBC would be in better shape.Instead of who is going or staying, perhaps we should complain about those issues that hurt the bottom line.Poor quality, failure to recieve the product ordered, lack of management to worry about or help grow sales.

no one is here from kc either fly quit lieing

OH no one is here from kansas city either

STOP spreading lies again Fly you don't have a clue, your info is just shit you think up

FLY well where are the warn notices?? we didn't get one yet, and there is no one here from KC. get your lies right at least, EVERYONE no one is here from KC, there is nothing said about warn notices, FLY is making up stories again he don't know his ass from a hole in the ground

knox what are you going to do when the same boss who has been giving you the kooliade and telling you everything is fine hand you your WARN notice shake his hand or punch him in the face !!!!!j

NO ONE GOT A WARN NOTICE HERE FLY, YOU TRULY ARE A COCKSUCKER, I THOUGHT YOU WAS WORKING FOR FLOWERS ANYWAY WAY DON'T YOU GET ON THEIR WEBSITE AND FUCK WITH THEM YOU BASTARD

still think your WARN notices aren't coming don't you guys done there feel stupid that you gave in to jung consessions demand right away look how jung rewarded you all with a kick in the ass out the door dumbasses:::::!!!

still think your WARN notices aren't coming don't you guys done there feel stupid that you gave in to jung consessions demand right away look how jung rewarded you all with a kick in the ass out the door dumbasses:::::!!!

hey boys in the southeast I hear the grim reaper is down there this week have you seen any of them they came from KC yesterday I told you guys merita would be first !!!!

There is no corporate jet.

hopefully the jet crashes into the ocean and sharks rip your body apart when all that is left is your skull I will be thru your eye hole fuckface !

Mr. Jung and Fly family, Since you are on the east coast don't forget to kiss the Merita label good by. Fly you can collect some bags with the Merita label on them and sell them on e-bay. They will .be highly collectable

Note to self: #1. Fly family and myself on corporate jet to east coast for Labor Day weekend. Stop at Biddeford on way to thank them for the terrific job they are doing for me...oops, sorry, I mean for IBC. #2. Collect nice bonus check for job well done this holiday.

dont you teamsteers on the east and west coast realize you will get 40 virgins when you sacrifice your job for the midwest.

I went to see my psychic Miss Information and she read the Tarot cards and said everything would be fin. She also read my palm and said we would all be getting raises!

Biddeford, It won't be long for you either. If I were you I would pick up a old truck and start plowing snow in the parking lots. You will atleast have a job until next July. How is Kribby doing these days?

wondering Volpe must have come off those claims.The last union meeting for 550 was in the last 6 months and he said its either more concessions or liqudation.

hey knox-my-bosses-ass, let me ask you some simple ?'s what is your route average? if it is less than 4000 to 5000 it shouldn't be on the road. how much does it cost to transport bread or cake via trailer to depots around the country from here or from georgia? my route does 8500 to 9000 a week and the company made it that way. the transports that we get some are from georgia. now the company made it that way too. so if you can answer those questions truthfully i am all ears to your reason of economics. but if you can't thats ok just keep on pounding out that route, working 50-60 hours a week for a FUCKING WALMART WAGE.

Bob m,you must be kidding me,are you serious about the( no more concessions) from volope?he said and i quote,teamsters will give NO more concessions,AND would rather see the co LIQUIDATE before it does.

We just will not know anything until next week. The legal filings will start and we all will see together what will happen. We speculate all we want but the company still owns the company at this point. Will the court order liquidation? Will IBC run out of operating funds? Will the teamsters be able to save something, especially the pension plan? My personal feeling is things will not go our way, but nobody except at the very top and the legal team knows what the plan is. My guess is Volpe is out of the loop along with Ripplewood. Too many issues needed resolved and handled in the big picture and I have not seen it, and we certainly have not seen any announcement from Ripplewood to that effect. Continue to hope for the best.

Anonymous if thats true ..what all the new deal shit?

IBC still owns the company. They are DIP Debtor-In-Possession. They petition the court. The teamsters do not have any legal right to petition the court unless it is with approval/conjunction with IBC. The teamsters are virtually out of the picture at this point.

Remember the BK courts job is to get the most money FOR the creditors.Not IBC! This 'new' deal will give the creditors the most money.Not liquidation.

Biddeford, you really are a moron aren't you? You just do not get it. Let me explain Economics 101...The same house you(Biddeford) buy, would cost 36% more for you(Biddeford) than if it was located in Tennessee(me). The cost of living in Biddeford(you) is much higher than the cost of living in Tennessee(me). The same brain size capacity of knowledge(you) is obviously LESS than the same brain size capacity(everyone else). Enjoy your new job collecting unemployment. Note: call the office for directions, do not attempt to locate on your own.

The deal is between the teamsters, ripplewood and the secured creditors.So just maybe we might get to vote on a proposal.If we do I'm not just going to give up a $65,000 a year job.

ya im with u jersey not even a rough draft of what went down they must be hiding something. and if you read what was said by the teamsters very carefully it does state that they tried to save as many jobs as possible. thats a big loophole in my book.then again volpes job is bakery and laundry no bakery probably no job someone else could handle the laundry part.

IBC isn't making the deal. The deal is between the teamsters, ripplewood and the secured creditors. The Company has nothing to do with this.

IBC isn't making the deal. The deal is between the teamsters, ripplewood and the secured creditors. The Company has nothing to do with this.

well there is a flash for everyone. the east and west are to be sold. NO SHIT FUCK HEAD we are the only ones that are making the money. i give 1-2 years after the deal or no deal is made before the central dies like a wounded deer in the woods. cmon people use a little common sense and stop smoking the corncob pipe. the ones who pass judgement on the east and west are the who are most jealous of us. we make more and get more than they do so they put all the blame of the companys' shortfalls on us. wel you can go fuck yourselves. to the people in knox and in kc, you heard here 1 to 2 years of survival and you will be done then who will be laughing last. you keep making your 28 to 33 thousand a year while i make my 48 to 56. you have to realize that ,that is not my fault. that is where people want to live and what they want to buy. sorry but you do need a lesson in demographic economics.

Don't yo love it when you pay dues to be told "you WILL vote for it'. Got to love the frank and open discussion on these issues with our members.

Don't you guys realize that if a deal is made, it is being made by iBC to only protect the core of the company, the Midwest. Nothing else is on the table to save. How else do you think the company can raise operating capital, repay creditors, pay legal fees, and most importantly...get approval from the court??????? West and East coasts are sacrificed as only possible method to get MONEY..End of this story.

What vote are you talking about Bob? There must be something on the table first. Next week, we will more than likely see IBC petition the court to void the contract along with petition the sale of assets(including your area). The only thing you can vote on is whether you should grab another job now before the end comes and your coworkers grab what is available out there or stick around to the bitter end. The deal was killed off last year. The Ripplewood deal is a farce and only an IBC drone can't see it.

Hey Knoxville, TN You WILL vote for the concessions or you WILL be out of a job.The company WILL be forced to liquidate. What don't you get ?

"Dead Men Walking" is the theme at the plant today. On the bright side, this is probably the last holiday we will have to go through! No answers from anyone in management. They are as lifeless as the rest.

When did Volpe say "No More Concessions".Without concessions the doors will close very soon and maybe even with concessions.

This is B.S.....how can we not even get details of the deal Hoffa and Volpe have struck? I am tired of paying dues every month only to hear we have made some sort of deal but I can't get specifics! I though Volpe said a year ago.."NO MORE CONCESSIONS"....is he not a man of his word? We do we talk the talk??? We have egg on our faces. At least the bct guys knew more was comming and were able to admit it up front. I am paying this months dues with doubt! If we are going to give again then lets do it and be done with it!!!! Fed Ex is hiring...might be time to jump ship.

Why would anyone vote to lose 100 dollars a week. That means working Monday for free. The company does not have enough management to run the routes every Monday when everybody is calling in sick. Face it the Union is screwing us more than the Company. Facts are Facts!!!!

With the realization that next week they will likely start seeing how the end of the company plays out, many are either finishing their routes, finishing their shift at the plant, figuring how much they will receive on unemployment, looking around at their competitors to see how they will fit in with new owners, or apparently performing volunteer work for the McCain campaign by making ideolgical statements of no substance on employee message boards.

Knox, The Fly is not done with his route yet. Give him about a hour to start posting.

where is all the lies about the company today?

This is history folks, For the first time the truth has been told....about Obama, Hilary, and the DNC at large.

Anonymous. Obama & Hilary are correct. Their entire base are brainless idiots.

T minus 7 days and counting until we will get some news. Court being petitioned to sell assets!

alright anon from biddeford i dont know who you are. but you just got ibc out of bancruptcy. well said standing O from the growd.

to booneville, it is really not that hard to figure out. volpe goes to the creditorsfor one reason only, cuz the people who have been in charge and running this shithole can not run it anymore. the higher ups have put this company in a hole that is almost impossible to get out of. of the employees that work here, how much of them are people that do not have a purpose for this company? everyone that wears a white or light blue managerial shirt has no need. now take all of those salaries and benefits and total up together and what do you get? a waste of time and effort. you take care of the people who makes the company go round not the people in the big leather chairs.

Vern Busby??? didn't this knucle head just finish school of some kind? how much will he have to pay back to IBC?

Good news at our bakery. The idiot of all idiots is finally leaving. Good-bye Vern and good luck wherever you go just be gone.

why be sorry for his no good do nothing ass?? RECP ................Comment: When is CP gonna get back? I need me some eye candy! RECP. BTW, sorry Bill

Western States Teamsters Pension Fund is 98% funded and solid like a rock. There are no pension liabilities in the western states. So the west looks mighty fine for a buyer.

to in the know, fuck you,look at it this way, you've already lost your job, you just don't know it yet or are you a suckass who can't keep his mouth off Jung's dick? all I did was ask a question, you say you know well seems to me you know NOTHING another FLY!!!!! prick!!!!

Dave Bowman: You see, somethings going to happen. You must leave. Heywood Floyd: What? What's going to happen? Dave Bowman: Something wonderful. Heywood Floyd: What? Dave Bowman: I understand how you feel. You see, it's all very clear to me now.

Well put, Bob @ Jamaica....

Jung wants IBC to be a small stand alone company with NO unions to deal with.IBC will then be out of BK and he can collect his bonus

What, exactly, was Jung's plan all along?

This was Jung's plan all along.Cancer would be too good for him and his buddies.

When Bethlehem Steel had their union contracts voided in chapter 11 bankruptcy court, the government(PBGC) took over the pension plan. Retirees lost approx. 50% of their benefits plus lost their health care. If you were the teamsters, wouldn't you give away the farm to try and save jobs and the pension plan???? Does not look good.

Volpe is renegotiating the contracts, Why? Simply put...He knows the end is here. There is nothing left but try and save face with the members. There will be no agreement that flies in the end. Too little, Too late. Chapter 11 permits management to petition the court to void labor contracts and substitute whatever terms it chooses. Properly stage-managed and set in motion, the restructuring process can steamroll the union, peel away retiree benefits and dump pension obligations onto the PBGC — the US government’s Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. The teamsters are out of options......period.

everyone from boonville is an idiot you all dont know shit if anyplace closes down it should be you guys cause you guys dont know what the hell you are talking about!!!!! get your facts straight for a change

Boonville I hope you and the rest of managment die a slow and painful death just like IBC.Remember you cocksuckers ran this company into the ground.Not the teamsters.So fuck you very much.

Volpe is the one renegotiating your contracts.

teamsters rule,without us you all would sink to the bottom of the ocean, st louis rsr;s keep this company going . without us you woulld all sink in shit. i say again dan murphy you are an asshole

Boonville:IBC DOES have contracts with the Teamsters but they want to renegotiate contracts that were agreed to in good faith. Stop lying about it & tell the truth for once.

Eye Ben reedin' this hear bored four sum thyme. Knowbody no nothin' about what's gonna happen. Why donut you all just stop the typin' and work, work, work, like my ghost used to do in the 1940's. Ain't gonna be know IBC befour long. I member the daze when that Jung guy wood bee told straight up: get used two waring a helmet the rest of your life. The TEAMSTERS are comin!! Sure is cold up hear twoday. C-U on the dark side of the moon.

Starting to see more jumping off the sinking ship as she goes down this week. Some of us are riding her until the bitter end.

T minus 8 days and counting...count down to court being petitioned to sell off the company in parts...interesting time coming up on which parts go to which of our competitors.

QUESTION for the followers of Mr. Volpe: Why is it that Mr. Volpe has gone to the creditors ASKING them to side with Ripplewood? At what point did Ripplewood commit adequate financing to outright buy IBC? Why has Ripplewood REFUSED to comment on Volpe's statements? Is Mr. Volpe selling YOUR souls (called successorship clauses in your contracts) in order to save his own ass? Where is Ripplewoods' financing plan that must be filed with the court? What deal has Mr. Volpe reached with Ripplewood to address the 950 million $ pension liabilities? Think about it...IBC had favorable terms with the creditors that unfortunately included a Teamster contract. IBC doesn't have the contract BECAUSE of the Teamsters. Ripplewood has a tentative agreement, but no deal with the creditors on debt repayment. WHY? Could it be that the ones who matter MOST (the creditors) have no desire to work with the Teamsters because Mr. Volpe is playing another shell game a'la Bimbo/Yucaipa? You be the judge.......

In the end.............we are sold out...but the question will be who is bought and who will take us over. I for one hope to hear something soon which ever way it goes.

merita bread is a lot better.........sweet sixteen say hostess.....tonto seems to be onto something...........he was booklearned in england...........are you in rocky mt?

Emporia, profit sharing would imply that the company can turn a profit. Again, the teamsters agreeing to concessions will not save this disaster. Unless, drastic job elimination, sell off of certain areas takes place there will be no profit. IBC has "borrowed" and leveraged itself until it cannot dig itself out. Look at the numbers posted in the MOR for the previous 12 months. Where do you see a majic wand being waved that will save us. Look at the debt owed. When you continue to have liabilities/debt exceeding your income EVERY DAY, you cannot continue. Ripplewood operates as an equity fund for one purpose. Buy low, then divide and sell off the parts to return a profit to their investors for more than what was paid initially. They have no desire to run an albatross of a baking company, they just look for QUICK recovery of outlay of funds. In the end we will be divided and sold. As soon as the holiday is over, then we all will see what will occur. Expect IBC to petition the court to allow sale of assets meaning the east and west. The creditors have to be repaid in one way or another. The company ran out of time and the court is out of patience. Losing as of August 95+ million in 8 months does not indicate that a turnaround is imminent or that IBC can stem its bleeding.

this is the end my only friend THE END sound familar. DOOM AND GLOOM EAT SHIT IBC JUNG AND THE REST OF YOU WORTHLESS MANAGEMENT PUKES . YOU SHOULD ALL HANG YOURSELVES AND DO US ALL A FAVOR, TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN YOU BUNCH OF ASSHOLES, RSR"S RULE WITHOUT US YOU GUYS WOULD NOT EXIST. SO BITE ME

Anyone that votes no should just quit. No matter what you will never do anything to better this company! This will be an opportunity to for the betterment of the company. Profit sharing is also a part of the deal. Management will have to conform to Ripplewoods changes. Not the other way around. When (not if) this goes thru don't be surprised to see a lot of changes at the top.

WELL WELL WELL,it's time for Vetters(bkjudge) to make a VERY BIG choice.will it be CHOP CHOP CHOP,or will he favor the Ripplewood deal?i'm a true teamster but i just think it's too late for all these concessions that NO true teamster will want.it's all but done for this co as a stand alone co.i liked it better when teamster Volope said when this first all started,NO MORE CONCESSIONS.

THE END IS NEAR!!!!

the midwest especially the st louis area is always a big seller we strive to make money for this company but they never give us any appreciation for all of our hard work, all they do is complain about losing the nickle and dime convience stores which make no money, put in 50$ of product and take out 49$ of stale way to go IBC we spend 80% of our time working stops tjat run 20% of our business no wonder we are going under, take care of our major stops the nickle and dime stops can go to sarah lee or bunny or whatever , we need to deal with real stops that might actually do some businiss .GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR DAN MURPHY IN ST LOUIS PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE REAL STOPS . GAS STATIONS DONT MAKE MONEY

The Ripplewood deal is no deal. It is only a proposal for an investment of capital in return for quick return by selling off portions of the company. Anyone who believes Ripplewood is assuming the pension liabilities is a fool and not a realist. Again, once again, there are other deals pending that will be presented to the bankruptcy court for approval that return more to the creditors than Ripplewood. Wait until 1st week in September, the court will be petitioned to approve deals, watch for the news. The court serves for the purpose of repaying the creditors the greatest percentage of their claims against IBC, it does not serve for what is best for our membership. IBC is only interested at this point in preserving the midwest. They have no choice but to sell off outlying areas for capital to continue running and reorganizing to avoid a total liquidation of all assets.

Date: 2008-08-25 Location: Location:Knoxville, TN Comment: I have a question, why are we still hearing Bimbo's is STILL a major player here in the Southeast? I thought Weston and Sara Lee was gonna buy the southeast, right now as I type we have a Bimbo's rep. here, Why? well an answer please

A good loyal teamster SHOULD ALWAYS VOTE NO NO NO to ANY consecions brought before the voting body what more do we have to give up to keep our jobs, why in the world would we want to give up thousands of $ a year to keep a sinking ship afloat, I say let it sink dump all present management , sure we might have to look for employment elsewere, but it beats throwing our pride out the window, let IBC sink hopfully JUNG will be the first one eaten by the sharks, then they will puke him up and the lower lifeforms will devoure him up

One thing you seem to be missing, Ripplewood was brought to the table by the Teamster's. They have an agreement (pending a vote by the Teamster members) with the Teamsters on concessions. Regardless if you are union are not after the vote all IBC workers will have to join a union. That's all workers but management.. This is a part of the master contract between Ripplewood & the Teamsters. This will be binding to the bakers, wharehouse workers, Transport driver & rsr's

On what part of the add does it say NON UNION??

People,I have heard it said,"there's nothing more dangerous than a little knowledge".We can see that being played out here.

IBC prepare to reopen The Glendale Facility NON UNION See the AD here: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/trd/802553102.html

I have a question, why are we still hearing Bimbo's is STILL a major player here in the Southeast? I thought Weston and Sara Lee was gonna buy the southeast, right now as I type we have a Bimbo's rep. here, Why?

St. Louis: You are spot on. I wish more management like Jim Brock would stand up and be honest with us. I'm sure there are a few more out there who cannot stand what's been going on with this company.

I REALLY BELEAVE THAT 99.9% OF ALL THE RESPONDANTS ON THIS WEB SITE KNOW HORSESHIT ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT, EVERYTHING ON THIS SITE IS TOTAL CONJUNCTURE, MISINFORMATION OR JUST PLAIN STUPIDITY, DONT YOU THINL IBC IS JUST EATING ALL THIS UP KNOWING THAT ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES REALLY DOMT KNOW JACKSHIT,BEFORE POSTING ON THIS SITE YOU SHOULD DO YOUR RESEARCH FIND OUT THE FACTS JUST FACTS FACTS FACTS,NOT WHAT YOU THINK OR WHAT JOE BLOW FROM BOONEVILL OR WHEREVER THINKS, ALL THIS SPECULATION JUST MAKES THIS WEB SITE NOTHING MORE THEN JUST A BIG JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brock said he was not going to carry the water anymore.

Is my take J. Brock?

MY TAKE (JIM BROCK): Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Finally someone in management that will stand up and tell the truth. Your post 08/23/08 made me stand up and cher! Jim Brock knows IBC.

Eat me.

MY TAKE:(JIM BROCK), That was a great post on 08/23/08! Finally someone in management who has had enough to tell it like it is!

When is CP gonna get back? I need me some eye candy! RECP. BTW, sorry Bill.

KATHY KOTEX COLUMBUS OH. I KNOW THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEM , ON THIS SITE WRITE TO THE GREAT HEALER TIJUANA EXPESS. MR. M. D.

My opinion based on the facts: Merita is being sold after the holiday. (fact 4 & 8) The bakery in Rocky Mt? I can't understand why but the tax issue makes me wonder (fact 6) I don't know it's as simple as one company buying up. I think one will buy bakery, another "merita" lable. Who? Bakery I would guess Weston (fact 3) as they don't seem to have the capacity with their current bakery for all the private lable they are acquiring but yet I don't know if their financially able. They seem the most likely canidate for "merita" but again, money. Bimbo? possibly. I just know it can't be flowers buying "merita" but possibly buying bakery since they are at max cap. in their current NC one, Research sunbeam (fact 9) Besides, flowers just acquired another brand/bakery in Florida last month. But, merita is going to be sold. I feel it in my gut. Since changes that cost $ continue (fact 4, 8 and 7) I believe wonder/hostess will continue in the area. How, dunno. ( PTM only to large chains/drop ship?) With TN picking up the baking. Just my opinion based on the facts.

Facts **1 Sara Lee having their own financial difficulty **2 George Weston Co. has a grocery chain in Canada that is causing financial hardship **3 George Weston has slowly/systematically taking over private lable in Walmarts **4 Merita Sweet 16 Donuts now say "Hostess" **5 Wonder Buns could never compete with Merita in the South **6 IBC filed with courts argueing tax value of bakeries in Rocky Mount and one in Florida. **7 new software being checked in NC **8 Merita bread back to tasting well **9 Flowers not allowed by FTC to have "Sunbeam" nationwide **10 Bimbo is building/has built new bakery in Rocky Mt.

PLEASE boonie tell us when JESUS will come again and why didn't Barak pick you for V.P.?

Lay off a quarter of your work force and still lose money? How could anyone not see what's coming? It's only a matter of time now. Ahhh!

To Boonville, I wasn't being sarcastic when I said "best of luck." This has been entertaining. Best of luck!.... I wonder if they'll keep this site up if we go down?

Hi, I have been enjoying my lay off just to let you know.I had a nice summer, got to enjoy my neceices wedding, and two graduations.I have received everything I wished for and have had made some new memories...wow.I have taken my lay off and experienced things I never would have gotten to do.Wow how many people can say that? I got to pick 12 gallons of huckleberries in Idaho at our cabin, swim to our heartsdesire and enjoy the 100 degree days. Now I hear ripplewood has bought us.......... yippee. I am now ready and rested to work and anxious to cut a deal with ripplewood.I have appreciated the time off but also really appreciated my union job with Hostess, welcome back we are ready.Thanks to eveyone who hung in there believing we would make it back and we are ready.......................Devoted Ho Ho Indio california,,,,, hi to my buddy Mitch

Guys, quit acting like IBC is going to ask the bank for an extension on paying back a loan. This is the actual funding, it is almost gone and no more coming. Its not a matter of paying back, its a matter of having money to operate.

I cant believe you dumbasses are still listening to Bonneville like he is some expert about this. This make for some hilarious reading.

Orlando, daydreaming is over. No more extensions. Time for a reality check. Really, don't you follow the court proceedings and financials. The end is here, so get ready to enjoy whoever your new employer will be. Just wait about a week and then you can start your whining.

WILL THIS ODYSSEY EVER END?

I see another extension coming.I'v been reading off and on about how IBC is done for almost 5 yrs. lol. You people need to stop hearing what you want from Boon and Fly and whoever the fuck else and hangon and ride this bullshit out like the rest of us.Good luck to all!!!

Fly, Its bed time. Turn out the lights 2:00am comes early. Let mommy tuck you in.

whats up with the prayer meetings going on in BOONVILLE when they should be working to improove the product. We are on the floor working our butts of to get things done and the holy crew the company people and a couple union guys are sitting in the sanitation office having a prayer meeting insted of praying to save your jobs do something about it stop waisting money on new offices and put it to the equipment and improving the product.

so in other words vetters doesn't give a rats ass about 23000 jobs or taking over ibcs pensions to the federal goverment I think the chummy judge vetters may turn sour on jungs dismembership of ibcj

IBC's credit is tapped out. The train derailed a long time ago.

FLY, All federal judges are appointed for life

WONDERING: Maya Pagoda basically took over Brakeville's job as the "mouthpiece". It is true that IBC still wants to be a "stand alone", just not as it is recognized or structured today. IBC's only option now is to jettison significant parts of the Company, reduce its labor costs, and forge ahead. There were other ways before, but those were eliminated with the passage of time.

FLY'S Favorite Drink: East River water, mixed with two parts Volpe BS, others' money, and a large quantity of gullibility. Keep drinking the Teamster flavored Kool Aid, FLY.

BADBACK: I was attached to the Human Resources group out of corporate.

hey boonville, we are still hearing rumors at the knoxville bakery and at our depot that bimbo's may still be trying to buy the southeast, is there any truth to this rumor?

FLY shut the hell up and go to your new job at Flowers like you was bragging about a couple weeks ago, no one on this board wants to hear from your sorry lieing ass, your 2 faced and a homo, no wonder you still live with your mom and grandmother ( God bless their hearts)

boonie,if ibc was in such debt,say back in 2002-2003,why didn't they except bimbos offer of 1.2billion?i was just farting around and came upond this juicy bit of info.

will ibc around before big brown can beat curlin in the breeders in oct that's a good question. dip money was extended twice already ripplewood is dumping some money in you all will see the train will keep rolling just the shots will be called from NY not kc.

The DIP financing has been amended once already when it increased to 249.7 million from 200 million. The creditors who have filed are not going to continue waiting for a miraculous turnaround when the company cannot turn a profit and has shown no progress in stemming the operating losses. JP Morgan and others will not and cannot continue to extend funds with no end in sight. When funds run out, I think we see court ordered liquidation of assets. That is why we will see next week the court receiving the documentation for permission from IBC to sell off certain areas(assets) of the company. It really is the only way out for IBC. There will not be any one buyer willing to pony up and assume the liabilities for this disaster that cannot turn a profit. It is the end of the line. In the end, it may be a good thing for many of us.

Boonie,what will happen to all of us? Who will win the Breeder's Cup Classic? Boonie,what about this?What about that? You guys sound pathetic.

Boonie,Who is MAYA PAGODA?is what she said have any truth to it?that ibc DOES infact want ,still to be a stand alone co.?

boonville is propaganda minister gerbles

boonville since your not employed at IBC anymore what was your position.

remember there is 171 million in notes of debt if people call there notes then ibc would be broke don't see the banks doing that if they really thought the end was near they would be cashing in those notes so you see they really aren't busted basically jp morgan chase and monarch who bought up a shitload of ibc debt are the ones who own the company the selling of brands would hardly cover the dip money they are owed the ship will keep sailing mark my words !

We will not see the July MOW report for a couple of weeks yet. Based on the rate of losses, then IBC is out of funds somewhere around the 3rd week of September. They cannot wait that long to react. Deals have to be finalized and approved to secure funds or we shut down period. Without income, and we have lost over 81.5 million as of June 28th, then when the funds are exhausted, there will be no operating money..which means no money for payroll. We should certainly get info. soon I would think.

jung is just fucking with people kind of like hitler did with the jews in WW11 doom and gloom and march them to the ovens look I don't like the fuck jung but he has been here for a year and half he's not going to chop the whole thing up and then where a bag on his face in embaresment you will see its allbullshit all of a sudden the bread is coming out better if and when the doors are ready to be chained shut the bread would be coming out like shit just jung using his NAZI mind control tricks !!!

Boonie, thanks for the information posted today. Based on what you know, you have said basically that the deals are either fianalized already or nearing completion. Will the court be petitioned to approve these next week after the holiday is over? In other words, will we find out for certain next week that we have been split and sold off in some areas? With DIP funding nearly exhausted and unless the unlikely event of an influx of new capital, then this thing breaks extremely quickly doesn't it?

Booneville, what do you think will happen with the Peoria area management, bakers and RSR's?

It's for certain that new management will not need two home offices, so say "good night sweet prince"in Kansas City.

Fly, I really think the ship is sinking. Prepare for the worst hope for the best! But it looks bad for the Northeast. I'm Happy it's over!

Boonville:Please explain how management that leaves on their own free will can qualify for a Golden Parachute.

good let more fat cats jumpship ibc could make a profit they wouldn't need no loans to survive you see who ever buys pieces or bits of a sliced up ibc they will need workers the only thing they don't need if managment and fatcats .nothing is going to change jung is just trying to squezze out more concessions they have investors lined up they can't wait to blow that money you all will see look for more extensions and ibc emerge in jan more bullshit all bullshit don't listen to boonville bullshit !

I am willing to bet George Weston will take a few of the Merita plants, keep the label going and compete with flowers. He has already taken the Sun-maid from R.M.

I always knew it would end like this! Hoorrah!

LA: I am not a company "hack", as I am no loonger employed by IBC. I left the Company over two months ago, shortly before Barry Brakeville and a couple of others did. What you fail to realize is that many "in the know" folks have already made or are planning their exits from IBC...moreso to beat the "rush" if you understand what I mean. IBC will not remain in its present form, nor will it be bought "whole" and continue as an on-going enterprise. Those options have long since passed. And, no, 100% of the pension funds are NOT 100% funded. A "new" owner by virtue of the language of the collective bargaining agreements' successorship clauses MUST agree to take on the contracts (as they are CURRENTLY written) and all liabilities that go along with them...pensions included. No one attempting to start or rebuild a business is going to do so with a 950 million dollar liability hanging over their head before they make their first nickle. And certainly not because Volpe asks them to!

ok lets chew on this one. jung has pulled a fast one on all of us. he can ask the judge to through out union contracts at anytime. but wait. all this time he has been brokering deals behind the scenes to sell parts of ibc and still make money with the union workers. hmmm now with buyers in place he can ask judge to void contracts and sell parts off without disrupting product flow.just a thought.

Boonville actually has been very close to the truth with his info for some time. The dates may not have been exactly right, but the general information and deductions have been close. People "close to the truth" have posted here for a long time. Unfortuately, the true people "in the know" are the Board of Directors working with their attorneys/legal staff. We will all find out who has been closest to the truth within the next 2 weeks. I do not think anyone has the hope that IBC will remain whole. It will certainly be chopped apart and pieced off. What routes remain, what facilities stay open, what market share remains, all remain to be worked out depending on the buyers' ability to integrate the acquired market into their respective systems. Many of our competing bakers already have production available within their own plants to take on any IBC business that they acquire.

Im not sure if jerry really did poop his pants or not. But what is interesting is no one is saying he didnt......just blaming these 2 guys for talking about it..........so he must have shit himself pretty bad

Why does anyone listen or believe anything BJ Boonville says? This guy is a company hack who tries to talk big but nothing he posts is true. The same management that put us in BK is still in charge making the same boneheaded decisions as always.

Boonie how soon do you think ibc will be losing the merita label .They won't need half the current people when merita is gone !

Well if they were planning to do route cuts like alveraz did it left us with all oldtimers some 65 66 years old .I can't see planning a future company on guys who may not even be alive in 10 years.

Fly, if this "Vetters", you keep referring to is Judge Venters, he is not running for anything, He is a Federal Judge. If you read his bio he has already retired once. Booneville, this alleged 900mil. pension liability can be erased by the stroke of a pen, you know that. As long as they are current, in their payments, any future liability can and will be subject to the approved plan. It will be interesting to see who objects to whatever IBC proposes next month. Ripplewood has very little "standing" with the court. P.S. Booneville, The University of Akron is notoriously tight fisted. If Akron is a profitable bakery (it is) They would be foolish to sell for the few million U of A would offer.

RSR: It could go a couple of ways...depending on how the Unions respond. First, it coould be a straight reduction according to seniority. Or, it could be an incentivized buy out plan to try to get rid of some of the deadwood (like FLY). And this is a big possibility because of a few reasons: first, it will be post-BK and there will be cash available to do so. Second, with restructured routes, new ways of doing business, etc. this will be a job that a lot of the old timers (like Fly) won't want to put the needed effort into and would take an incentivized retirement.

Ripplewood has 950 mil to cover the pension liabilities AND about 750 mil ADDITIONAL to make a purchase of IBC? First question Venters will ask WILL be how Ripplewood plans to cover the pension liabilities. The second he will ask is about the debt repayment. I gotta ask you, Fly...what are you going to do when this ends the same way Bimbo/Yucaipa did? You seem to have a very short memory. You said and did the very same things you are saying and doing today. And I asked the same questions. You gave the same responses. when it all fell in (like I told you it would), you resorted to name calling and acting like a two year old throwing a tantrum. Gonna be more of the same?

Boon will these route cuts be through the union by senority like with alvarez did or will ibc keep the best workers.Or will they keep all the oldtimers like FLY around???

Fly, if you are indeed the informed one, what about the Upstate, New York area? Are we going to be one of the 'drop ship' areas?

oh boonville I forgot you haven't been around lately ripplewood has the cash and there won't be any plan or deals done that are not stand alone .and you just showed the whole twinkie website the problem with ibc to many fatcats with golden this golden that look jung is a reject ceo his salary is only 1.3 million a year look at other co ceo they make 50 60 million a year it will be well worth getting rid of these meatballs and putting some people in charge that know about baking .im glad that you are finally come around to see your fatcat friends will be needing those GOLDEN PARACHUTES tell them keep them close....to all teamsters details will be out teusday or wensday !!!!!!

By the way, FLY....if Ripplewood is planning on "buying" IBC, what are they planning to do with the 950 million in pension liabilities? Or hasn't Volpe told them about that like he did with Bimbo/Yucaipa?

You're going to see fewer routes (a lot) and probably the end of the Merita line being produced by IBC.

Boon what about central NC merita is still strong here who gets US ?

FLY: Your comment re: a "new" board getting rid of all the fatcats....first, merely investing in a company does not insure removal of any member of a board, let aloone an entire board. Second, Volpe is "begging" creditors to go with him and Ripplewood? Why? How about Ripplewood doesn't have the finances available to put in a competitive bid for IBC, nor will the creditors agree to the same terms and conditions of debt repayment that they extended to IBC and Jung. Third, you ever heard of a "golden parachute"? Most of the "fatcats" you speak of have one. And they will make those "fatcats" even fatter. Each and every one of those parachutes have specific language dealing with a change in ownership, a change in the board of directors, etc. No matter what happens, Craig Jung and those "fatcats" are going to walk away VERY rich men and women. Count on it. These people didn't get to where they are today by thinking like an RSR or hourly employee. Not by a long shot!

FLY: They are not going to ask RSRs to buy their routes. The routes will be done away with. The independent distributor will run an operation similar to any of our depots. Except IBC's responsibility for the product will end once the product is on the independent's dock. This operation will be similar to the EB Brown operation going on in KY, OH, WV areas. As for that post form the "Teamster Leader", yeah, right. Anyone who believes anything out of the Teamsters' mouths should be a prime candidate to purchase land in Florida's everglades. The Teamsters have tried an end-around TWICE now (they have REFUSED to negotiate with IBC so don't LIE to anyone) and neither "venture" has proven to be factual. Ripplewood is not BUYING IBC. Do you think for a minute 1) the creditors will buy into anything that has Teamsters written on it? The creditors have already determined that Teamsters are a "problem" wherever they are in whatever capacity, not a "solution". 2) Yucaipa had much more cash available to purchase IBC yet they decided NOT to. Ever wonder why? Especially since the esteemed Mr. Volpe (KNOWING Billionaire Ron wasn't "buying") attempted to present it as such? Just as Ripplewood HAS NOT STATED, Yucaipa NEVER stated that they wanted to BUY IBC. That was just another of Volpe's chicken-shit ploys to drag the process out and try to "save face". As he has done in the past, Volpe will be forever linked with ANOTHER failure and try to deflectr blame for whatever happens to his represented employees and IBC. CHICAGO AREA: Should be safe...will be providing production operations for a much larger area, though...probably stretching into Michigan and Ohio on a large scale

yes its true ripplewood will probaly chop areas up in the future but when the board is replaced the first heads to roll will be the fatcats isn't that going to be fun either board goes or teamsters go let's see can the board pack out there products no you need indians chiefs you can throw on the scrap heep the people in charge now only care about saving there own skin bottom line the new owners will be calling the shots would you keep any managers who loss 12 million a month.dont get me wrong this fucks will put up a fight till the death to keep gravy train going.all along the reason ibc got every break in the courtroom was one fed don't want pension mess and jung sold judge on he wanted to save jobs expect a different outcome when ibc presents judge with mass layoffs and fed getting pension fund mess ripplewood will present saving co and prolonging the co all together remember vetters has to run for reelection teamsters could kill his campian run .creditors will make more money with ripplewood then jungs firesale!!!

nothingtolose samething goes on here.managers hideout all day,always have an excuse for their screwup.not held responsible for anything. the managers stick together and gang up on employees when someone complains. this company has written its own deathwish by allowing managers to treat employees like that. Ive never seen a manager earn an honest days pay in 18 yrs. of coarse they blame the union nothing is ever their fault.

Hey Boonville, Whats going to happen with the Chicago area, you didn't mention that area at all.

i will not be at work on August 30!!

Update on previous posting; This is a very important week in the history of IBC and its teamwork with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters..The past fours has been a great strain on our Union workers and their families, but as Union leader a post should be made..After Seprtember 1st changes are going to be made unilaterally..IBC Leaders are going to try to impose their will their workforce. Threats will be made, letters in Company letterhead will be sent to all employess stating exactly what will happen...We as your ask you to stand tall and dont give in....Conclusion of these business practices will be coming to end soon...We have in good faith negotiated with IBC and they have turned a blind eye..This is the Boards last stand so We plead with you to do the right things....We have not called on a walkout on August 30th so anyone person who promotes this is just asking for more problems,,,,,We cannot show the creditors our resolve by walking out just days before we go to courts seeking approval of our plans...We know things seem shaky but if we as a union can get through these last 4yrs we can get through these last days of IBC Boards management...........Stand Proud!!!!!!!

Ricci, be a man for once. You know who I am, than do something about it. Your a piss poor excuse for a routeman and spineless as a man. What do you use to brush the taste of ass out of your mouth. You kiss managements ass daily.

DAVE WEST OF MIRAMAR CAL. YOUR TIME IS HERE . ARE YOU READY TO WALK THE PLANK? DO NOT FORGET YOUR CRONIES.

How many other route men out there work 6 and 7 days every week ? If 7 what is the most days you have worked in a row ?

boonville did you dream that up in your sleep no body going to buy a route from these idiots they can't be trusted if you lent them 10$ they woundnt even pay you back!!!

Has one Looked at this web site ???http://www.unclemelon.com/how_to_eat_pussy.html

All sales must go through the BK court. BUT...IBC will announce that it intends or is going to petition the court to make a sale before it actually appears in court. As for Ohio, most likely targets are Defiance and Toledo or Columbus. Akron bakery will most likely be sold to Akron University who has wanted the property for years. Toledo could very well end up Sara Lee or possibly Nickles; Defiance is dead meat. There celarly is no need for five bakeries produciing bread and buns in Ohio. Weston will get Biddeford; Jamaica, Wayne NJ likely to close. Philly most likely bought by Weston. Knoxville most likely ok, Rocky Mount and Memphis either Weston or Flowers, or a split. South Central and West to Bimbo. IBC will have major independent distributors set up in northeast and southeast, will drop ships of product to these facilities by common carrier, or on someone else's truck. IBC will be selling more product via distributorship than it delivers on its own route trucks.

jason and lance both orewheat employees need to stay off this site. let the jerry thing go while you can. youre time is coming soon, anymore of this we will post youre location and address

You've endured more than 7 stays of execution, and as a former IBC employee, I'm compelled to remind you this. There is life after IBC and in most cases, it's much better!! Do not wait until the Reaper approaches your front lawn, like I did.. If you don't have Plan B & C in affect, than what are ya waiting for? Good Luck fellas.
