Actually, it’s the Teamsters that were the real spoilers here if the reports are correct. Their “drivers” were making $130k a year so an 8% cut took them down to $120k. And they had all sorts of “work rules” that featherbedded the disty side of the business ( like “helpers” in separate trucks to move the goods from the delivery trucks to the customer’s shelves). So the “bakers” were the dumb schmucks who were already working for peanuts. Teamsters= “effective union,” Bakers= dumb sh!ts who allowed themselvss to be screwed.
