The new owners of Hostess have leaner operating costs now that they're no longer using unionized workers.

Now we understand why they killed the company then brought it back. To get rid of people earning a LIVING WAGE and replacing them with slave-wages. Shut the company down; fire everybody; restart company; keep union out. Bingo. You are making more money than ever and the same workers now have to contend with wages that cannot ever support a minimal life, EVER. And this is how it is done these days.
