City Bakery Blocks General Manager's Extension - Take Action Tell The City Bakery to Honor the Food Chain!

Please keep calling City Bakery; apparently it has cut off the general manager's extension! You can call at (212) 366-1414 and then just press 0 and ask for a manager. Please send the revised call to action below to your lists, otherwise folks won't be able to get through:

The City Bakery chain enjoys an image of being a "green" and "socially conscious" business. Yet, the City Bakery NY sells seafood from labor rights violator, Wild Edibles, Inc.

Given City Bakery's progressive image, current and former Wild Edibles workers were surprised when owner Maury Rubin refused to even enter into a dialogue regarding the hardships they face.

When Wild Edibles workers demanded the overtime pay they were owed and sought to win a voice at work with the Industrial Workers of the World labor union, their employer commenced a relentless campaign of retaliation including firing or forcing out eleven workers. Not even an injunction from a federal judge has stopped Wild Edibles' rampant retaliation against these immigrant workers.

The City Bakery should honor the people working hard to assert their rights along the food chain and choose a more responsible seafood supplier.

Please contact The City Bakery management at (212) 366-1414 (& then press 0), to express your concern for the Wild Edibles workers and their families!
