 BCTGM Local #22, Who Are We?

We are a Local Union headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We are affiliated with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers & Grain Millers International Union, the AFL-CIO, and also the Central Labor Union Council of Minneapolis. We represent over 1850 workers employed in the baking, confectionery, grain milling, and snack food industries throughout Minnesota, western Wisconsin with individual locations in Iowa and South Dakota. We have a long and proud tradition in the labor movement in this area. An example of our heritage is pictured below with one of our earliest charters from the Journeyman Bakers National Union issued to our old sister local #21 of St. Paul, Minnesota dated February 20, 1886.

Under these Collectively Bargained Agreements our members secure for themselves and their families a superior standard of living including good wages, health care, pensions, and 401K’s. These agreements provide for guarantees on vacations, holidays, funeral leave, seniority rights, and fairness in the work place. Only a labor contract can provide these guarantees. These are binding agreements between our members and their Employers.
 
If you work within an industry covered by our jurisdiction, (Baking, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers & Grain Millers) and you aren’t treated fairly, have no health care, no pension, or 401K, are paid less than what you are really worth, don’t feel as though you have any respect from your Employer, no guarantees on vacations or other benefits, then we would like to hear from you.
 
The National Labor Relations Act provides you the Right to form a Union and give you the tools you need to secure your future at your place of employment. Working together we can make this happen. Please call us at (612) 379-2921.
