RWDSU members at General Mills in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, will see significant improvements in wages, benefits, and workplace protections after ratifying a new three-year contract on November 14, 2025. The agreement, negotiated by the Local 110 bargaining committee, brings meaningful changes to nearly every corner of the plant reflecting months of member input and tough conversations at the table.

RWDSU Local 110 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, continues to lead with strong education, organizing, and preparation efforts across the worksites it represents. From steward trainings at Quaker Oats and onboarding new leaders at Coles Quality Foods, to bargaining prep at General Mills and honoring fallen workers on Workers Memorial Day, the Local is building power and solidarity across the board. With strong contract language, strategic planning, and strong partnerships like those with the University of Iowa Labor Center, Local 110 is proving that even in Right-to-Work states, union strength starts with informed, empowered leadership.

Congratulations to RWDSU Local 184-L members who work for Kellanova making Cheez-It crackers in Kansas City, Kansas! Workers recently ratified a new three-year agreement with significant wage increases, increased training pay, and improved vacation benefits. By sticking together, workers won a provision that has the company picking up 95% of the cost of RWDSU healthcare.

Union membership might not be as sweet as candy, but it’s close! To that point; RWDSU Local 262 members in Union, New Jersey at Ce De Candy have ratified a new three-year contract that includes large wage increases.
