The spirit of solidarity that united retail workers of different backgrounds, races, ethnicities, and religions in pursuit of a common goal back in the 1930s continues today. That spirit has made it possible for RWDSU Local 3 to negotiate contracts that provide Bloomingdale’s employees with decent wages, job security, good medical, dental and pension benefits, and a voice in the creation of respectful, healthy and safe working conditions.
This year let's once again show the strength & solidarity of New York City's workers. Because there is "Power In Unity". Please join your Local 3 United Storeworkers Leadership team for the 2025 Labor Day Parade. The Parade takes place on Saturday, September 6, 2025. The parade runs up 5th Avenue from 44th to 68th streets. Local 3 Members, their families and friends will meet at 1:00 PM on 47th street between 5th Madison Avenues. Grand Central Terminal is the closest transportation. Our group's march time is scheduled for 1:15 PM. Local 3 Union T-shirts and snacks will be provided. We look forward to marching with you, as we celebrate, workers, organized labor, unity and solidarity.
As RWDSU members across the country mark Juneteenth—the day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States—we remember that freedom and justice are not just ideals; they are goals we must continue to fight for every day, on every shop floor, in every community.
Our union contract includes strong non-discrimination language that protects LGBTQIA+ workers on the job. That means no matter who you are or who you love, you are seen, valued, and protected.
