Over the past year, RWDSU Local 1102 made a bold decision. Instead of waiting for their contracts to expire at three Flying Food Group locations, they strategically chose to open them a full year early, an uncommon step that spoke volumes about the strength they had built through solidarity and action. It was a clear message: we are ready, and we are united.

RWDSU Local 338 members at The Herbal Care achieved a strong first contract at one of the first adult-use–only dispensaries in New York State to organize and successfully negotiate a union agreement. The organizing win was supported by  New York’s labor peace law, which protects workers’ ability to unionize without fear.

After five months of intensive negotiations, members of RWDSU Local 1102 have overwhelmingly ratified a landmark three-year agreement with retail giant H&M. This victory, affecting more than 1,000 workers, marks a significant turning point for retail labor standards across the country.

Members at DeCicco & Sons overwhelmingly approved a new three-year contract that delivers wage increases and protects essential medical, dental, vision, and prescription benefits.
