Employees at both New York City Pleasure Chest retail location have ratified their first ever union contract. The RWDSU members become only the second group of adult toy workers in the nation to win the protections and benefits of a union contract, along with their fellow RWDSU members at Babeland stores, also in New York.
Today the RWDSU members at The Pleasure Chest New York walked out on strike during the #NYCPrideParade! They were also invited to marched in the parade with Senator Brad Hoylman, Senator Diane J. Savino and RWDSU President Stuart Appelbaum. THANK YOU to everyone at #Pride who came to express their support! Workers' rights are gay rights!
Workers at Pleasure Chest locations in New York City have voted to be represented by the RWDSU in their fight for a voice for fair treatment in the workplace, security protections and procedures, and fair wages through a collective bargaining agreement. Workers at Pleasure Chest, an adult toy shop, reached out to the RWDSU in the wake of the historic rights and protections won by the union for workers at a similar store - Babeland - earlier this year.
