Yesterday, workers at Tartine’s three San Francisco’s locations voted to unionize by a slim margin — 89 votes in favor versus 84 against, Mission Local reports. The bakery’s Berkeley location voted today, and the results were more decisive: 18 to 0 in favor of the union.

The results comes a little over a month after 141 out of Tartine’s 200-plus workers signed an initial letter stating their intent to join the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) — and after several contentious weeks, during which union organizers accused management of forcing workers to attend mandatory “anti-union meetings” and one of Tartine’s co-founders appeared to unveil a whole line of anti-union Tartine apparel on Instagram.

After yesterday’s initial vote in San Francisco, pro-union workers were quick to declare victory on social media, posting “Today we won our election in San Francisco!” on the Tartine Union Instagram account and, elaborating on that sentiment on Twitter, “WE FUCKING WON!!!!!!”

Today we won our election in San Francisco! There are challenge ballots that need to be litigated in court. So unfortunately we must wait to find out the final decision. WE FUCKING WON!!!!!! — Tartine Union (@TartineUnion) March 13, 2020

That ebullience may have been somewhat premature, however, with such a slim lead in the vote count. Both social media posts acknowledge the existence of “challenge ballots” that still need to be litigated. At issue are 24 contested ballots — 22 that are being contested by the union side and two contested by management, the SF Chronicle reports. According to Mission Local, the main point of contention is that pro-union workers accuse the company of packing the vote by hiring a dozen “ringers” that other workers claim to have never seen at Tartine’s San Francisco locations. With the current tally as tight as it is — much tighter than the roughly two-thirds of Tartine workers who initially signed the unionization letter — those contested ballots could certainly swing the election if they are mostly “no” votes, as both management and union organizers seem to believe to be the case.

Today’s Berkeley election, on the other hand, had no contested ballots, an ILWU spokesperson told Eater SF. But despite the decisiveness of that result, the unionization of Tartine’s San Francisco workers is still far from a settled matter. For now, the contested ballots from the San Francisco elections are sealed and won’t be revealed until the hearing unless both sides agree to unseal them earlier. And the whole litigation process could stretch out for several months before any final resolution is reached, a union organizer tells Mission Local.

As of publication time, Tartine management did not respond to Eater’s request for comment, though co-founder Elisabeth Prueitt told Chron that it could take “weeks, months, or potentially years” to fully resolve the results of the election. When reached for comment, an ILWU spokesperson provided a statement from Emily Haddad, a worker at Tartine Manufactory, who said, “We just want a Tartine worker’s union, and a free and fair election.”
