Members, stewards and union reps of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union this weekend convened at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville for the union's annual Six State Conference. RWDSU officers, staff and worker leaders came together to discuss accomplishments from the previous year, while learning new strategies to grow and make our union stronger. The conference featured guest speakers from the leadership of the Tennessee AFL-CIO, as well as seminars on Health & Safety, Organizing, New Labor Regulations and Immigration. The Six State conference provides a space for members, stewards and union reps from different regions of the country to connect and build solidarity. And by holding the conference in Nashville, RWDSU demonstrated it's commitment to organize and fight for workers everywhere, especially in Right-To-Work states controlled by anti-union politicians.
From New York City to Nashville to cities throughout the country, RWDSU celebrated Labor Day with fellow union members. RWDSU Local 1-S, Local 3, Local 670, Local 1102 and Local 338 marched up Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. And the Nashville Tennessee District Council celebrated with a rally that featured a unity labor quilt in downtown Nashville.
