Tartine and treatment of bakers
Thought this would be of interest to folks here.Tartine Officially Comes Out Against Its Workers’ Unionization Effort:
Apologies if its the wrong forum, but I learned a lot from the Tartine book and especially how skilled you must be to be a good baker. I also support the craft of baking and want everyone to have a fair wage.

Sounds like they are about to go under.
aren't all they are cracked up to be: https://www.newser.com/story/287801/uaw-chief-allegedly-stole-1m-from-his-own-union.html
There are thousands of unions in the United States. Workers have a right to form them, and unionized workers are on average better paid. This is hardly the forum to settle the larger question of unions pro/con, and there may be no general answer! But I would very humbly suggest that if 141 bakery workers at Tartine have signed a letter asking to form a union, we should respect their assessment of their own situation.
