Local 3 2022 Holiday Party
On Thursday, December 29, 2022 the officers of Local 3 celebrated the holiday season by hosting an open house party for the membership at a local restaurant. We had a tremendous turnout and wonderful time was had by all. Together, we're union strong!
December 12th, 2022 Membership Meeting
Thanks to everyone who came out to our December membership meeting! Congrats to our four lucky winners of the holiday raffle: Elsa Horan, Rose Gregoire, Kenny Manuel, and Mark Holup!
In his report, Local 3 President Kavanagh said Local 3 has the best contract in the retail industry but it is up to an active and engaged membership to protect the rights and benefits the union has fought to achieve since our first contract was signed in 1938. We're bringing these words of wisdom into 2023 with us!

Local 3 Attends the 24th Quadrennial RWDSU Convention
The Local 3 United Storeworkers delegation attended the 24th Quadrennial Convention of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union held in Atlanta, GA, July 26- 29 2022. The RWDSU leadership team, President Stuart Appelbaum, Secretary-Treasurer Robert Layng Jr., and Recorder Joseph Dorismond were overwhelmingly re-elected to a four-year term. The bold organizing campaigns at Amazon, REI Inc., and Housing Works in New York City are inspiring workers throughout the world to stand up, have their voices heard, and claim their seats at the table. Members of the Local 3 delegation were assigned to work on important committees that set goals for the future to organize the unorganized, demand safer working conditions and stronger contracts, and continue to be leaders in fighting for social justice. We are STRONGER TOGETHER!
