Bakery Workers Get Five-Year Deals At Old Dutch, Ralcorp/Lofthouse

MINNEAPOLIS – Members of Bakers Local 22 have approved two five-year agreements bringing annual wage increases for workers at Old Dutch Foods and Ralcorp/Lofthouse.

The Bakers Local 22 contract at the Old Dutch Foods plant in Roseville covers about 160 workers. “We got wage increases all the way through,” reported Local 22 president Ron Mohrland.

The first year of the contract contained a higher wage increase and a lump-sum payment to offset rising health care costs, Mohrland added.

The Old Dutch contract also granted workers an additional paid holiday in the form of a personal floating holiday, he said.
