WORKERS AT BIMBO BAKERIES RATIFY STRONG
NEW AGREEMENT

Entenmann’s and S.B. Thomas Breads Workers Secure Significant Wage Increase

(DEER PARK, N.Y.) – A group of 200 workers at Bimbo Bakeries have ratified a new collective bargaining agreement. The route sales professionals, route riders, field merchandising representatives, and utility drivers are employed by Entenmann’s and S.B. Thomas Breads, brands under the Bimbo umbrella.

“Through their consistent bargaining and strong solidarity, these members were able to close their deal without a strike and negotiated a great new agreement,” said Jeff Padellaro, Director of the Teamsters Brewery, Bakery, and Soft Drink Conference. “This contract shows what this group can achieve when they refuse to back down. They should be proud of this accomplishment.”

“The committee and our members were tenacious in their approach in solidifying the best contract possible,” said James Shannon, President of Local 802. “The committee and I would like to thank Director Jeff Padellaro for his assistance in obtaining this impressive Teamsters contract.”

The new six-year agreement includes an up to 40% wage increase, an increase in company pay toward health care, a uniform allowance, and an increase in pay for holidays, sick days, and personal days. The contract also includes a no layoff clause for the first year of the agreement.

"By standing united we secured a powerful contract that truly recognizes our dedication,” said David Halwick, a route sales professional at Entenmann’s for 34 years and a shop steward. “This agreement delivers the concrete improvements our members deserve, especially for our newer members. It proves what we can achieve when we come together as Teamsters."

Teamsters Local 802 represents bakery drivers and food production workers in New York and New Jersey. Local 802’s major employers include Entenmann’s, S.B Thomas, Frito-Lay, and Krasdale Foods. For more information, visit www.ibt802.org
