Mission Foods shocks Pueblo workers by abruptly shutting down its iconic tortilla plant—just days after announcing a planned closure—leaving 90+ employees, many with decades of service, scrambling to pack up amid emotional chaos. The union blasts the company for poor handling and vows support, while locals mourn the loss of a historic business that once started as a family restaurant in 1956.
