Stella D’oro workers, out on strike for nearly a year now, won their first victory yesterday when the National Labor Relations Board ruled in their favor.
“There’s nothing else I could ask for,” said Joyce Alston, president of Local 50 of the Bakery, Confectioners, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, which represents the 136 striking workers.
The union charged the company with negotiating in bad faith and the union is reporting a favorable ruling in the case.

So can I go back to eating those delicious breadsticks and Breakfast Treats?
Why do we need union workers to make some lousy cookies? Shouldn't the business decide whom to hire and what they would like to pay? Seems like the "scabs" can make those crappy cookies just as good as the "union" workers. And the strikers could have found other jobs by now.
