MACY’S FURLOUGH RESPONSE STATEMENT FROM RWDSU PRESIDENT STUART APPELBAUM

"RWDSU members at Macy’s are covered under a collective bargaining agreement. Two weeks ago, we negotiated historic provisions for workers that expire on April 1st. Critically it included plans to negotiate future terms, which we are still doing. Macy's needs to do much more for its employees than what they have announced so far -- and we are pushing them to do that. They will be judged in the future by how they treat their employees now," said Stuart Appelbaum, President of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU).
