SCHILLER PARK, IL - NOVEMBER 15: Workers with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union stage a walkout at the Hostess Brands bakery on November 15, 2012 in Schiller Park, Illinois. Workers at the facility were not allowed by their contract to strike so they walked off their jobs in a show of support for workers at Hostess facilities that were allowed to strike. Hostess Brands Inc. has warned striking employees that it will move to liquidate the company if plant operations don?t return to normal levels this afternoon. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)
