12 Mar Progressive Values Meet Union Artistry at Schnuck’s Market Bakery

From a single, small confectionery in 1939, Schnuck’s Markets, Inc. has grown into a leading regional supermarket chain with 115 stores in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.

BCTGM Local 4 (St. Louis, Mo.) members at Schnuck’s Market Bakery in St. Louis are behind the cakes and other sweet goods that get shipped to the chain’s retail grocery stores for sale.

β€œOur members not only bake the cakes in this facility, they elaborately decorate them,” says Midwest Region BCTGM International Representative Jason Davis.

Davis accompanied Local 4 Financial Secretary/Business Manager Josh Camden for a service visit to the bakery in January. According to Davis, Schnuck’s was ramping up its production of King Cakes to prepare for Mardi Gras. β€œThe work that goes on here is highly specialized and takes considerable artistic talents,” he added.

According to Camden, progressive values may be at the heart of that artistic skill. β€œSchnucks was recognized as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity by Newsweek last year,” Camden points out. β€œYou can see that when looking around the bakery, but also in the unique, quality products the Union bakers put out.”

In addition to creative seasonal items, the Local 4 members at Schnuck’s put out a daily supply of muffins and other sweet goods for sale across the company’s Midwest retail stores.
