St. Louis Bakery Workers Join Union for Food Service Employees
What happened
Workers at several bakeries in St. Louis voted to join a union for food service employees on October 15, 2026. These workers, who work for businesses including Union Loafers and The Station, rallied for improved pay and benefits. A primary concern raised by the workers was paid time off. The state of Missouri had previously repealed a paid sick leave law that voters had passed in 2024.
