Members of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) who work at Mountain View nursing home are on strike and will be walking the picket line in front of the facility over the course of the weekend. Workers, who joined the RWDSU last year, are fighting for key contract provisions so they can provide the best possible care for patients and support themselves and their families. Workers are seeking to maintain needed paid time off and good healthcare benefits, as well as adequate staffing levels and fair scheduling practices.
Today, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU), announced that the workers at Valley View Manor Nursing Home (VVM) in Norwich, New York, voted unanimously to approve their first union contract.

This first contract does that and so much more.
