HAPPENING NOW: Unions & advocates unite in the Capitol for #WorkerSafetyWeek! NY’s workers need: 📦 warehouse safety 💅 nail salon safety 🌡️ extreme temperature safety 🛍️ retail safety We have proactive solutions to protect workers *before* they get hurt, not after.

.RWDSU #Carwasheros traveled up to Albany today to gather with fellow workers and unions & call for the passage of the #TEMPBill! As the effects of climate change cause temperatures to climb, workers like our carwash worker members NEED this workplace standard on heat and cold.

The RWDSU has heard from retail workers across NYS and there’s one consistent pattern: retail workers don’t feel safe at work. The #RetailWorkerSafety Act would require retail employers to provide trainings & create violence prevention plans. Let’s get it passed THIS SESSION!

Thanks to Assemblymember Eddie Gibbs for supporting the #RetailWorkerSafety Act, which would keep retail workers AND customers safe! Join us in calling for the passage of the bill: bit.ly/RSAFETY

What an honor to work on this landmark legislation & deliver a win for our retail members and non-unionized retail workers across NYS! Huge thank you to bill sponsors Jessica Ramos, Karines Reyes, R.N., & Governor Kathy Hochul for making this a reality!

Thank you Governor Kathy Hochul, for signing the Retail Worker Safety Act into law 🎉 Last session we got serious about protecting workers and businesses. It would not have been possible without the fearless advocacy of RWDSU.

We hear it from RWDSU members all the time: working New Yorkers are struggling under the strain of inflation. Thank you to Governor Kathy Hochul for unveiling our state’s first-ever Inflation Refund proposal, which would send refund checks to 8.6 million New Yorkers! #SOTS2025

At a time when working parents in NYS are struggling to make ends meet, Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed a huge expansion of the child tax credit – $1k per child under four, $500 per child ages 4-16! This will be a gamechanger for many RWDSU families! #SOTS2025

As a mom, it pains me to think children's stomachs are growling in school. In the wealthiest country in the world, and certainly in the great state of New York, that cannot be tolerated.

Amazing win for our newest members RWDSU! Barnes & Noble Union showed great strength throughout this campaign, winning salary increases and much needed gains in safety protections for all workers. Congrats, and welcome to the family! 💪🏻✊🏻
