It's not just the 25000 employees with their jobs on the line. All of the outside vendors (beer companies, coke, pepsi, nabisco, keebler etc) also have a lot on the line with this one. One of my friends works for nabisco, he just got the rest of the week off due to this. A conservative estimate is 100k jobs on the line, from the grocery store to vendors to coffee shops etc. This is going to have an impact on the entire region.
