  • Update on Bakery and Laundry Conference

    A renewed interest in all baking products. Because there is nothing to do but eat when on lock down! You can only clean so much.

    In the Teamsters Bakery and Laundry Conference, most of the 19,300 members on the bakery side have been declared essential and are still working.

    The larger national companies with Teamster contracts, such as Bimbo USA, Nabisco and Frito Lay, are working at full employment and making good bonuses. That includes members who work in bakery warehouses, transport drivers, driver sales people and others.

    Many small and regional bakers have also seen increases in sales. Some smaller bakeries that have lost accounts due to shutdown orders are struggling but have maintained all Teamster members.
    There has been a renewed interest in all the bakery products during this national emergency. We have seen declines for years but for these several weeks during stay-at-home orders, we have seen constantly emptied bread shelves, cake tables, chip racks and more. Many markets have struggled to keep shelves full during pandemic buying. That’s slowing down a little bit but there are still steadily high volumes. Hopefully this newfound interest in bakery products will continue at these higher volumes.
