Nursing Home Workers in New York Stand Together for a Better Contract

Members of RWDSU/UFCW Local 139 who work at the Valley View Manor nursing home in Norwich, N.Y., recently ratified a new contract that strengthens wages and benefits.

Members of the bargaining unit manage all operations at the nursing home and include licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, laundry and maintenance workers, as well as workers who help with dietary and activity programs for patients. These members joined the RWDSU/UFCW in 2019. Reception workers have also been added to the RWDSU/UFCW Local 139 membership, giving them a union voice and contract for the first time.

The three-year contract includes wage increases of 18 to 32 percent based upon job classifications. All employees will receive additional two percent increases in years two and three of contract, along with a ratification bonus of up to $300. The contract also includes a first time company match to the 401(k) plan, an increased shift differential, and additional paid time off depending upon years of service.

SLS Car Wash Workers in New York Ratify a New Contract

Members of the RWDSU/UFCW who work for SLS Car Wash in Brooklyn, N.Y., recently ratified a new contract that strengthens wages and benefits.

The contract raises wages for car wash workers over $1.75 per hour, and brings important safety equipment such as an eye wash station and rubber boots and gloves. And, in a huge win, whenever the day shift washes 600 cars or more during their shift, management will add $400 cash to the tip box. The night shift will see an extra $200 in the tip box for washing over 300 cars. This is the only car wash in New York City with this benefit. Workers in other departments got additional gains. Drivers will receive an extra $1.50 per hour, and mechanics will earn an extra $2.50 per hour.

“With other car wash contracts coming up, the workers at SLS set a great example with their solidarity and determination. They won a great contract,” said RWDSU/UFCW Representative and Negotiator Danie Tarrow.
