23 Feb BCTGM Local 37 Members at Jon Donaire Ratify New Contract; Strike Ends in Victory for Workers

Posted at 19:30h in Jon Donaire Strike, President Anthony Shelton, Press by

BCTGM Local 37 (Los Angeles, Calif.) members on strike against Rich Products-owned Jon Donaire Desserts plant in Sante Fe, Calif. voted to ratify a new collective bargaining agreement, bringing an end to the strike that began on November 3, 2021.

Reflecting on the vote to ratify the new agreement, BCTGM International President Anthony Shelton stated:

โ€œThis has been a long and difficult fight for our striking members and their families. With each new day on that picket line, fighting for what they deserve, our members grew in strength, courage and determination.โ€
โ€œThe Jon Donaire members made enormous sacrifices in order to achieve a fair contract that provides significant wage increases, maintains their excellent health insurance and improves working conditions.
โ€œThe BCTGM is grateful for the tremendous fraternal support we received from across the labor movement throughout the countryโ€” from Los Angeles to Buffalo, N.Y., the backyard of Rich Products.
โ€œWe thank President Liz Shuler and the AFL-CIO, the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, the New York State AFL-CIO and the Western New York Area Labor Federation, AFL-CIO, which collectively helped bring about this victory through unwavering support and solidarity.โ€
