We support you

We support United Food and Commercial Workers/Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union UFCW/RWDSU Local 1-S against Macy’s Northeast Inc. (MOA) - those 4,000 sales associates, tailors, stock clerks, gift wrappers and other workers at the Manhattan store and three others in Queens, the Bronx and White Plains voted over the past week to authorize a walkout. We stand in solidarity with UFCW/RWDSU Local 1-S on behalf of fellow co workers of Transport Workers Union. TWU Local 100 supports our honorable fellow union brethren of Local 1-S who are seeking a just contract.

It is a breath of fresh air from UFCW/RWDSU Local 1-S that the workers rose up to challenge the corporate structure. We recognize those sales associates, tailors, stock clerks, gift wrappers and other workers who work hard and for long hours for the Thanksgiving day parade with all those costumes - we will be with you at Herald Square in seeking a just contract.

However when you look at the Amalgamated Transit Union - ATU 726 under Angelo Tanzi and ATU 1056 under I. Daneek Miller who are working without a contract - they are charlatans who do not listen to their members it’s absolutely a wrong move. Tanzi and Miller are the problem it is obvious their approach is useless and their policies are short-sighted. Maybe the best way to expose their flaw is that they are allowing their members to work without a contract - maybe now they might learn something or two from UFCW/RWDSU Local 1-S, the real union who believe in the principle of no contract no work. Tanzi and Miller the sham masters who are allowing their members to work without a contract are hurting and undermining their members and need to be called out on it.

The action of the members of UFCW/RWDSU Local 1-S will enhance themselves, their decision will lead to advance their bargaining status when they seek a new contract. We here in why did you join the union say bravo and are proud of UFCW/RWDSU Local 1-S.
