More than a year after workers voted to unionize, the movement seems to have stalled. Organizers say it’s the company’s fault (via eatersf)
Edgar Franks, the political director of workers’ rights groupin Bellingham, Washington, says situations like the settlement reached between employees and Dandelion Chocolate are also quite common. Pursuing legal recompense through the NLRB is excruciatingly difficult for employees, wrongfully terminated or not, and can drag on for years as cases rack up hefty legal fees. “In our experience, companies choose to settle and assign NDAs when they know they’ve done something wrong,” Franks says.
Dowling says he thinks Dandelion missed an opportunity to be a pro-worker chocolate business during a time when many conversations within the industry center on workers’ rights. “I think it’s disheartening that Dandelion Chocolate could turn letters in to the San Francisco County Board as well as the ILWU, apologize for infractions against labor law, then turn around and say there was no merit to what the labor board found,” he says.
Meanwhile, Dandelion Chocolate is shuffling back into order in the wake of what was hopefully the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dandelion’s Valencia Street cafe reopened in March for indoor dining and shopping with extended store hours. The production facility in the Mission remains closed to the public, though an opening date for Bloom Salon, Dandelion’s dining option inside the factory, is set for later this summer.
