“Making - Up Your Own Rules"

   A while ago I had a friend say someone had referred to me as "that guy Joe is just making up his own rules". Now do admit that I would like to change a lot of the rules that our society lives under right now.
   All working people should be protected by unbreakable rules stating that they should to be able to earn a decent living wage and have health benefits for their family. All working people who have labored all their lives deserve rules that they should be taken care of after retirement.  I believe any organization that makes rules that they should be on their own are a cancer in our world. 
   The rules that I make and follow help the people I represent as well as every working man or women that I have not the pleasure of serving yet.

   I will happily continue "making up my own rules" because as another wise friend once told me "always do what you know is right ".

Bakers Local 24 has been around quite a long time. In fact we were chartered in 1885, that's One Hundred and Twenty Eight (128) years ago! Pictured below is our banner from early 1900's which now resides in the Boudin Bakery Museum at the Boudin at the Wharf Restaurant and Bakery on Fishermans Wharf in San Francisco. It has been on loan to Boudin's since 2006 and is keep in a glass case so it can be viewed  by the many thousands of visitors to the museum every year. The museum houses many historical photos and exhibits on the early history of the baking industry in San Francisco.
