Workers from Breads Bakery, a prominent New York City bakery, announced their unionisation last week, calling for an end to the company’s “support of the genocide happening in Palestine,” and demanding better working conditions.

The Israeli-owned chain has six locations across New York City, employing around 275 workers.

The statement from the Breaking Breads Union announced that over 30 percent of workers have signed authorisation cards with UAW Local 2179, a labour organisation that represents over 1000 workers in the New York and New Jersey area.

In the announcement, which was first delivered as a speech to the company’s CEO at the bakery’s flagship location, union organisers decried the bakery’s “implicit and explicit” support for Israel.

“We see our struggles for fair pay, respect, and safety as connected to struggles against genocide and forces of exploitation around the world.”

Unionising is a really important, really powerful first step towards dismantling fascism.

Everyone should be doing what they can to organize and unionize their workplace.

Check out the IWW's website to learn how to start a union.
