/
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.

Our Union Bargaining Team met with the Employer for back-to-back sessions on Monday and Tuesday, June 8 and 9.
We’ve reached tentative agreements on:
Paid bereavement leave
Baker premiums for non-Pastry Leads
14-hour rest period between scheduled shifts
Minimum 32 hours for Culinary Lead, Pastry Lead, Assistant Café Manager
Enshrining the practice of paying employees more who are stepping into a higher role temporarily
Hazard pay during a state of emergency
Though we’ve set a strong foundation, there’s more work to be done. The Employer’s proposed wage scale is far from what we deserve. We know that our Cafe Team Members deserve more than minimum wage. While the Employer has come closer to our wage proposals for Shift Leads, Culinary Leads, Pastry Leads, and Assistant Café Managers, their hard work also deserves appropriate compensation.
