Every election year, workers across the country make their voices heard at work, at home, and in their communities. But one of the most powerful ways you can influence the issues that affect your job, your family, and your future is by voting. And it all starts with voter registration.

This past Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the streets of Newark didn’t just echo with the memory of a leader; they vibrated with the footsteps of a movement. RWDSU Local 108 was proud to stand on the front lines as a key endorser and participant in the Martin Luther King March of Resistance, joining a coalition of over 200 organizations to demand justice, dignity, and a fair shake for every worker and family in our community.

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.
