RWDSU Local 1102 Celebrates Contract Win at NYU Dental and Continues the Fight for Fairness for Food Service Workers

RWDSU Local 1102 members at NYU Dental, food service workers employed by Compass Group, have successfully negotiated and ratified a new union contract that delivers substantial wage increases, enhanced contributions to the Medical Fund, and a range of critical workplace improvements. These workers support the NYU campus community every day, and this agreement is a major step forward in recognizing their skill, commitment, and value.

The new contract reflects months of member engagement, solidarity, and determination at the bargaining table. RWDSU Local 1102’s negotiating team fought hard to secure meaningful raises and stronger benefits that will have a real impact on members’ lives and their families’ financial stability. Protecting and improving health coverage through increased employer contributions to the Medical Fund was a top priority, because affordable care matters as much for workers as it does for the students and patients they serve.

This victory builds on a long tradition of RWDSU Local 1102 members standing together to raise standards across the workplaces the union represents, particularly in the campus food service sector, which the union represents workers at many schools in the New York area. The union remains deeply committed to advancing fairness, dignity, and economic security for all its members – one contract at a time.

When Local 1102 members thrive, the broader community thrives with them.
