PRES. APPELBAUM APPLAUDS ANTI-HARRASSMENT NY BUDGET PROVISION

Today, Stuart Appelbaum, President of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU), thanked Governor Andrew Cuomo for including landmark legislation in the FY 2019 budget that actively combats sexual harassment across the state.

“At a time when we see efforts in our nation’s capitol to roll back women’s rights, New York’s Governor Cuomo is working to increase them. Friday’s announcement that New York State is committed to stopping discrimination, disrespect or abuse of any kind in the workplace is a model for our country. We are proud to live in a state where women are valued and protected; and we thank the Governor and legislature for making sure this remains the case,” said Stuart Appelbaum, President of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU).
