"Lowe's will follow rival Home Depot in giving thousands of its hourly employees a one-time bonus of up to $1,000 due to new tax legislation, according to an internal company memo reviewed by CNBC on Wednesday.

"Hostess Brands (TWNK) said it would provide $1,250 bonuses to 1,036 hourly employees "following the recently enacted tax legislation."

The company said the bonuses would be $750 in cash and $500 in 401(k) contributions. It added that it would "further sweeten the benefit" by giving all of its 1,300 employees a year's worth of free baked products."


UPS is also investing 12 billion dollars, and has voluntarily contributed 5 billion to employee pensions (https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/400-current-events/76271697)

I wonder if Hostess is prepared to also offer all their employees free diabetic testing strips as a benefit when half of them get handed an R73 or E11 diagnosis by that year's end.

Good for them. Not good for the almost 20,000 employees they fired just a few years ago though.

Just a few years ago? So that would be under Obummer's presidency, no? And if Hillary was president currently....?

Well I'm sure you can figure it out.

Nice on them for the one-time benefit and good for the families who it'll help.

Let's see if they start raising wages now.

Yup. Obama and Democrats were totally anti-union.

Why would you even begin to think I wish Hillary were president?

Are you projecting? Do you wish she was? Tell me how great she would have been.
