We work hard to keep our busy stores running, but we often don\u2019t feel like we have the support and working conditions we need to thrive. That\u2019s why so many of us have come together, started unions, and won union contracts to improve what we get at our stores! We\u2019ve already built considerable momentum by<strong> embracing our collective voice &#8211; <\/strong>and our leverage only increases as we grow.&nbsp;<\/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\"><br>When you have a union at <strong><em>your <\/em><\/strong>H&amp;M store, you get a voice on the job and you\u2019re able to speak up for what you need. This lets you make H&amp;M a place for a career that works for <strong><em>you<\/em><\/strong>! Now is the perfect time to get plugged into our growing national campaign, so if you\u2019d like to take the next step &#8211; fill out the form below.
