March, immediately following, to City Hall (rally 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.)Two months after returning to their jobs after an 11-month strike against deep concession demands, the courageous workers at the Bronx-based Stella D'oro Biscuit Co. are still fighting.
A stunning decision by the National Labor Relations Board, which found that Stella D'oro had bargained in bad faith, returned the strikers to work, with back pay and no concessions, in early July. The strikers had offered to return to their jobs under the terms of their old contract in May, but management, intent on breaking the union, had refused.
On Wednesday, September 23, the company's union-busting owner, the private equity firm Brynwood Partners, said it had reached a deal to sell Stella D'oro, and that production will be relocated to Ohio by early October.
Join the Stella D'oro workers and supporters at a rally on Friday, September 25, at the headquarters of Goldman Sachs, a major investor in Lance, Inc. The group will then march to City Hall to encourage the City Council to take action to save the Bronx jobs. The council passed a non-binding resolution July 29 in support of the Stella workers.
