Stop Factory Closing in the Bronx!

Snack-maker Lance, Inc., has announced its intention to buy the 78-year-old Stella D'oro Biscuit Company and move production from its historic home.

Tell Lance to keep Stella D'oro production in the Bronx!

In July 2009, 136 Stella D'oro workers, members of the Bakery, Tobacco, Confectionary, and Grain Millers Local 50 returned to work after an 11-month strike to maintain family-supporting wages and health care.

On the day they returned, Brynwood Parters, the private equity firm that currently owns the 78-year-old Stella D'oro brand, announced their intention to shutter the plant in 90 days.

On September 8, Brynwood announced that it had reached a deal to sell Stella D'oro to Lance, Inc., a North Carolina-based food manufacturer that owns numerous other brands such as Archway cookies. The deal will not be finalized until October. Please act now to save good jobs!
