This year, RWDSU Local 1102 took a major step toward deepening its community impact by launching the Local 1102 Charitable Trust. This new initiative broadens the Local’s efforts beyond the workplace, supporting community causes through fundraising, scholarships for Local 1102 members and their families, and donations to nonprofit organizations.
RWDSU Local 1102 members at Animal Care Centers (ACC) of New York City—those on the front lines of caring for the city’s most vulnerable pets and strays—have won a new three-year union contract that reflects their essential work and unwavering compassion.
On April 10, 2025, the new leadership team of RWDSU Local 1102 was sworn in at the local’s offices in Long Island, New York. RWDSU President Stuart Appelbaum delivered the Oath of Office.
