To all those who helped us sign, collect, and deliver hundreds of signatures at the seven affected union stores, thank you so much for your time and effort. Collective actions like these are the cornerstone of NSLU and will continue to be our source of strength as we fight our way towards a strong first contract.

Six NSLU shops picketed February 3rd and 4th for the restoration of COVID supplemental PTO. Thanks to everybody who came out to the line after work or on your break! We distributed 1500 leaflets to community members, and at the time of writing 161 customers sent emails to Nancy Lebold demanding the restoration of COVID paid leave. We were also able to recoup most materials costs through direct donations from the community, and now have a hundred signs to support future strike and picket action.
