Since Hostess filed for chapter 11 protection, it has continued to benefit from the
labor of BCTGM represented employees. During this time, Hostess has refused to make
approximately $14,000,000 in post-petition Pension Wage Deferrals required by its collective
bargaining agreements (CBAs) with the BCTGM.
2.
Because the BCTGMs claim for Pension Wage Deferrals is based on post-petition
This Court has subject matter jurisdiction to hear this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 USC 157(b). Venue before this Court is
proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1408 and 1409.

when they come due until and unless Hostess acts to reject the BCTGM CBAs pursuant to the
Courts authorization.
Factual Background
5.
For many years, Hostess and local unions affiliated with the BCTGM have been
parties to a series of CBAs governing the wages, benefits, and working conditions of thousands
of employees at the companys bakeries, depots, and retail thrift stores. Currently, Hostess has
117 CBAs with thirty-five local unions affiliated with the BCTGM. These CBAs were reached
with each local union in and around October 2007, during the previous bankruptcy. See
Declaration of Frank Hurt (Hurt Decl.), 2-4.
6.
Each CBA is a bi-lateral agreement between a BCTGM local union and Hostess that
requires Hostess make contributions to the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry
International Health Benefits and Pension Fund (B&C Fund) a third party beneficiary of the
BCTGM CBAs in varying amounts based on hours of work performed by active Hostess
employees covered by the CBA. See id., 5 & Exhibit A. Hostess is required to make these
pension contributions on the tenth day of each month, based on the hours worked by BCTGM
represented active employees during the previous month. These contributions are deferrals of
amounts that would otherwise have been payable as wages to Hostess employees, but Hostess
and the BCTGM local unions agreed that they would instead be paid to the B&C Fund to provide
post-retirement pension benefits to Hostess employees. See Hurt Decl., 6.
7.
On August 12, 2011, Hostess informed the BCTGM, its local unions, and the B&C
Fund that it would no longer make these Pension Wage Deferral contributions for work
performed by BCTGM represented active employees, as required by the various CBAs. See id.,

On January 11, 2012, Hostess filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under
chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. See Voluntary Petition, Dkt. No 1 (Jan. 11, 2012). Since the
initiation of this chapter 11 proceeding, BCTGM represented active employees have continued to
perform services for the Company pursuant to the CBAs. Hostess has made no Pension Wage
Deferrals for this post-petition work. See Hurt Decl., 8-9.

Deferrals accruing under the BCTGM CBAs after January 11, 2012. See id., 10 & Exhibit B.2
10. On May 4, 2012, the Court granted the Motion of Debtors and Debtors in
Possession to (A) Reject Certain Collective Bargaining Agreements and (B) Modify Certain
Retiree Benefit Obligations Pursuant to Sections 1113(c) and 1114(g) of the Bankruptcy Code
(hereinafter, Debtors 1113/1114 Motion). See Order Re Motion to Reject, Dkt. No. 848 (May
4, 2012). As of the date of this Motion, Hostess has not implemented the terms of the section
1113/1114 proposal authorized by the Court. See Hurt Decl., 11.
Argument
11. Section 503(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code allows, as administrative expenses,
claims for the actual, necessary costs and expenses of preserving the estate, including- (i)
wages, salaries, and commissions for services rendered after the commencement of the case[.]
Pension contributions and other fringe benefits that complete a pay package, Howard Delivery
Serv., Inc. v. Zurich Am. Ins. Co., 547 U.S. 651, 654 (2006), are part of wages, salaries, and
commissions covered by section 503(b)(1)(A). See In re A.C.E. Elevator Co., Inc., 347 B.R.
473, 480 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2006) (Moreover, as noted by the Supreme Court in Howard
2
In December 2011, Hostess ceased providing monthly remittance reports to the B&C Fund
containing the number of hours worked each month by active unit employees. The pension
contribution estimate contained in this paragraph and Exhibit B is based on the average hours
worked per month from July to November 2011.

Delivery Service, employer contributions to pension and welfare plans, . . . together with wages,
remunerate employees for services rendered.).
12. When claims for pension obligations are based on post-petition labor, they are
treated as administrative expenses. See, e.g., In re Finley, Kumble, Wagner, Heine, Underberg,
Manly, Myerson & Casey, 160 B.R. 882, 891 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1993) (To the extent that the
Minimum Funding Claim arose postpetition from the postpetition labor of Debtors remaining
thirty-eight employees, the Minimum Funding Claim merits priority treatment. Postpetition
premiums due may be entitled to an administrative priority for the same reason); cf. In re
Ionosphere Clubs, Inc., 22 F.3d 403, 408 (2d Cir. 1994) (referencing the established rule in this
Circuit that vacation pay claims are accorded first-priority status as administrative expenses only
to the extent the vacation pay is attributable to post-petition work); In re Spectrum Info. Techs.,
Inc., 193 B.R. 400, 405 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. 1996) (employmentrelated benefits . . . have been
deemed to be forms of wages which may be entitled to administrative expense priority if
incurred during the administration of a bankruptcy case.).3
13. Here, Debtors collectively-bargained Pension Wage Deferral obligations are
measured by the labor of active BCTGM represented employees. These active employees have
continued to provide services to the Debtors post-petition and have continued to earn Pension
Wage Deferrals. The Companys failure to pay them, therefore, is a violation of the respective
BCTGM CBAs.
The cases are unanimous in this regard. Those courts that have refused to accord
administrative expense status to pension contributions have done so only where the contributions
were based on pre-petition labor. See, e.g., A.C.E. Elevator, 347 B.R. at 478 (rejecting
administrative claim for delinquent contributions that were based on its Union employees
hours worked prepetition).
5

14. Moreover, Hostess was prohibited by section 1113(f) of the Bankruptcy Code from
unilaterally terminat[ing] or alter[ing] any provision of a collective bargaining agreement prior
to compliance with the provisions of this section. See also 7 Alan N. Resnick & Henry J.
Sommer, Collier on Bankruptcy 1113.02 (16th ed. 2011) (debtors remain obligated to pay
postpetition wages and benefits as they become due in accordance with the collective bargaining
agreement, and the failure to do so has been held to be a unilateral alteration of the agreement in
violation of section 1113(f), and not merely a breach of the agreement). Despite the fact that
the Court did not authorize rejection until May 4, 2012, Debtors have made no Pension Wage
Deferral payments during the pendency of this chapter 11 proceeding.
15. The fact that the Court has now authorized rejection of the BCTGM CBAs is of no
moment. First, while the Court has authorized that action, Hostess has not yet acted on that
authorization. Second, even if Debtors had acted, rejection pursuant to 1113(c) is prospective
only; it does not magically absolve a debtor from its pre-rejection obligations. See, e.g., In re
Hoffman Bros. Packing Co., Inc., 173 B.R. 177, 186 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 1994) (explaining that the
procedure prescribed by 1113, . . .provides for prospective, not retroactive relief[,] so the
unions may be permitted to file administrative claims for their members postpetition unpaid
benefits accruing prior to entry of the court-ordered modification); In re Manor Oak Skilled
Nursing Facilities, Inc., 201 B.R. 348, 350 (Bankr. W.D.N.Y. 1996) ([A]ll aspects of a
collective bargaining agreement remain in effect and binding until rejection occurs.). Thus,
even if Hostess had acted on the Courts order authorizing rejection of the BCTGM CBAs on
May 4, 2012, it would still have been in violation of section 1113(f) prior to that date.
16. We expect that the Debtors will argue that because the B&C Fund terminated
Hostess on December 10, 2011, no Pension Wage Deferral payments are due for any post-
12-22052-rdd
Doc 863
Main Document
petition period thereafter. Rather than respond to this as yet unformed argument now, we await
Hostess articulation of its position to which we will respond in our Reply. For now it is
sufficient to observe that (1) Hostess promised to make these payments in its CBAs with the
BCTGM, not the B&C Fund; (2) the payments are an integral part of the compensation Hostess
promised it would pay its workers and cannot be disaggregated from the economic bargain the
parties stuck; (3) in any event, it was the B&C Fund, not the BCTGM, that terminated Hostess;
(4) the B&C Fund terminated Hostess only to protect itself from the obligation of awarding
pension accruals for periods during which it might not receive contributions; (5) it is our
understanding that if the B&C Fund receives these payments from Hostess, as required by the
BCTGM CBAs, it will accept them and award pension accruals to covered participants. But if it
does not accept them, the payments would be paid to the individual employees who earned them
by working for Hostess post-petition.
Conclusion
17. For the reasons stated, this Court should accord the BCTGM an administrative
claim for Pension Wage Deferrals arising from post-petition work performed by BCTGM
represented active employees; and direct the Debtors to immediately make these payments.
