The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) is a labor union representing workers in retail stores, warehouses, food processing plants, department stores, poultry processing facilities, and other industries. Its mission is to advocate for improved wages, benefits, workplace safety, and workers’ rights through collective bargaining and legislative action.
RWDSU typically pursues policies related to labor rights, collective bargaining protections, minimum wage increases, workplace safety standards, paid leave, healthcare benefits, retirement security, and protections for immigrant and marginalized workers.
The organization is primarily funded through membership dues and union-related activities.
RWDSU is affiliated with the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) and the AFL-CIO.
