Grand Central Bakery workers came together in November 2025, and we overwhelmingly won our union election by 86% and now after months of bargaining, we are proud to have fought for a great first contract. When we came together and organized, we knew some of the biggest issues were low wages, inconsistent hours, and unpredictable scheduling. Our coworkers knew that something had to change and so we agitated, educated, and organized! This tentative agreement is emblematic of months of hard work to demand industry-changing standards.
After months of negotiations, our Bargaining Committee reached a tentative agreement on June 16! We won because we were organized and prepared to take action to win a fair contract. Some of our contract wins include:
If you or a coworker need help regarding an Investigatory Meeting, are facing Discipline or Corrective Action, or need to report Contract Violations. If you are experiencing one of these workplace issues, our MRC Representatives will work with you on a plan of action. When we fight together, we win! UFCW 3000 Member Resource Center: 866-210-3000
