60 years ago, in April 1965, Bloomingdale’s workers went on strike in New York City demanding a 35-hour work week, adequate wages, job security, and sick leave. The 15-day strike concluded on April 16, 1965, with workers winning a 26-cent raise.
A new three-year agreement protecting commissions, raising wages, and securing medical benefits, has been unanimously ratified by Local 1102 members at Saks Fifth Avenue in the 8th Floor Women’s Designer Shoe Department. Members who work at the department store’s iconic Fifth Avenue flagship location in Manhattan also have won the opportunity to enroll in the union medical plan.
