But, we also feel like there\u2019s plenty of room to make things better across the board. That\u2019s why we\u2019re organizing our stores, joining our voices together, and negotiating with the company to improve our working conditions.<\/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\">We\u2019re already winning strong first contracts at our stores, and through our organizing, we\u2019ve even raised the bar for all Lush employees. And, through our organizing, we\u2019ve even raised the bar for <strong><em>all <\/em><\/strong>Lush employees. After our union began, Lush introduced nationwide raises for US stores in an attempt to slow new organizing \u2014&nbsp;but all that showed us was how effective we can be when we come together.<\/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\">If you work at Lush and want to join our movement for a better career at Lush, now is the perfect time. We\u2019ve already established that Lush <strong><em>can<\/em><\/strong> be a union company &#8211; and there\u2019s only room to grow from here!
