They also wanted the same benefits as their unionized Southern Glazer\u2019s Wine &amp; Spirits colleagues in the New York metro area and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/forlocals.ufcw.org\/2022\/10\/24\/delaware-wine-merchandisers-join-local-2d\/\">Delaware<\/a>, who are also represented by UFCW Local 2D. This unit was originally granted recognition via card check earlier this year, but a few workers and a national right to work organization tried to block the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campaign to organize these workers included communications by the local to the sales force via Zoom, as well as in-person visits. UFCW Local 2D organizers also used social media and the card signing process to connect with the workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"tw-max-w-217 tw-m-auto tw-px-6 rich-text contained-block\" data-module=\"paragraph\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was very important to make sure we had a successful result to organize Southern Glazer\u2019s Wine &amp; Spirits,\u201d said UFCW Local 2D President Stephen T. Booras. \u201cPrior attempts made from 2008 to the present were unsuccessful, so by having the union, all three houses (Southern Glazer\u2019s Wine &amp; Spirits, Republic National Distributing Company, and Empire Merchants) are all unionized.
