On September 6, RWDSU members and leaders proudly joined tens of thousands of union members in the streets of New York City for the annual Labor Parade. Each year, the parade is a powerful reminder of the strength and solidarity of the labor movement, and 2025 was no exception.
RWDSU Local 1102 has long stood for improving the lives of its members on the job and in their communities. That commitment was on full display this year as the union celebrated the achievements of its Paulette Fialkoff-Amodeo Scholarship recipients. These awards highlight not only the hard work and aspirations of Local 1102 members and their families but also the union’s belief in investing in the future.
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.
This year, RWDSU Local 1102 took a major step toward deepening its community impact by launching the Local 1102 Charitable Trust. This new initiative broadens the Local’s efforts beyond the workplace, supporting community causes through fundraising, scholarships for Local 1102 members and their families, and donations to nonprofit organizations.

Organizing a union at your workplace means standing together to win a seat at the table at work. It means having a voice, and a way to say to your boss that the concerns of workers are every bit as important as the employer’s bottom line. Interested in getting started?
