The eight workers, who bake the pastries, voted unanimously to join our union family because they were concerned about insufficient wages, hours, and benefits, as well as a lack of respect from the owners and poor communication.
The campaign to organize these workers included one-on-one conversations using reflective engagement, as well as inoculation training and educating the workers in detail about the process of joining a union. The workers are happy to be a part of our union family and are looking forward to negotiating their first union contract.
“Forming a union with UFCW is a piece of (bundt) cake!” the workers said in a joint statement.
