reports that the company has spent the subsequent weeks scheduling meetings between employees and outside consultants — meetings the company claims to be strictly informative, but that at least one pro-union worker characterized as “fear mongering” and a way to make employees feel like they’ll be punished for unionizing.In order to hold those meetings, the Alabama Street Tartine Manufactory location closed its doors yesterday, and the original Mission Tartine Bakery was closed today.
In response to Eater SF’s request for further comment, a Tartine representative sent a lengthy statement from Prueitt elaborating on her desire to keep Tartine a “union-free workplace.” Chief among those reasons is that, in her view, Tartine already pays competitive wages and has no “under-paid or otherwise exploited workers” — a point that contradicts what pro-union workers have told the press.
“There had never been a time where a group came to us and said ‘there’s a serious grievance we have, and we need to talk about fixing it or we feel like we have no other choice but to unionize.’ Nothing even close,” Prueitt says in the statement. Instead, she attributed the union push to the machinations of a “professional union organizer,” whom she says joined the company only three months ago.
You can read Prueitt’s statement in its entirety below. In the meantime, Tartine workers are slated to vote officially on whether to join the union next week.
