Local 1109 Welcomes New Members at Chelsea Piers

On February 17 a unit of 129 servers at Pier 60, LLC (Chelsea Piers) in Manhattan voted overwhelmingly YES to join CWA Local 1109! Local 1109 organizer Ena Lee worked with the Organizing Committee to build a supermajority of support, reaching a majority of signed cards within just 24 hours of the launch. The Organizing Committee tracked public support consistently and workers wore red "CWA Yes" bands to show that they were all in for their union, and signed Vote Yes pledge cards leading up to receiving their union ballots. 

Local 1109 leadership attended union meetings and distributed campaign materials, and Executive Board member Steve Moser advised workers on operating like a union before the election, including collective actions that reinstated a suspended worker with backpay. 

Congratulations and welcome to our newest members!
