Local 338 Fighting to Keep NYC Wal-Mart Free!
The press conference and rally was a way of showing Wal-Mart that the labor movement and community groups will stand-up and fight to prevent corporate greed from sneaking into our city. NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn and several members of the New York City Council joined RWDSU President Stuart Appelbaum, and Local 338 Secretary Treasurer Murray J. Morrissey to pledge their support of our efforts to keep NYC Wal-Mart free. New Yorkers deserve quality jobs and opportunity within their communities and while Wal-Mart has tried unsuccessfully to open stores in four of New York City's boroughs, Brooklyn is unwilling to fall victim to their policies that place profit before people. New York Communities for Change presented Speaker Quinn with 4500 signed petitions strongly opposing the development of the new Wal-Mart from Starrett City Residents.

Congratulations to the 2010 Local 338 Scholarship Recipients! For nearly thirty years, Local 338 RWDSU/UFCW has proudly sponsored an annual scholarship program for its members and their families in order to help them continue their education. Local 338 held a Scholarship Luncheon on Tuesday, June 23, 2010 at its offices in Mineola to honor the ten winners of the 2010 Scholarships. As in the past, this year, we received a remarkable set of wonderful and talented applications. We offer congratulations to all our 2010 winners who will receive $1000 towards their first year of college.

Local 338 Health & Welfare Fund Will Now Be Covering All ELIGIBLE Adult Dependent Children Until the Age of 26 Beginning August 1, 2010, the benefit plans of Local 338 RWDSU/UFCW will now cover the adult dependent children of members, until they reach the age of 26. This is a new requirement under the health care reform legislation passed earlier this year that does not take effect until next year. However, the trustees of Local 338 Health & Welfare Fund and Local 338 Benefits Fund believe extending such a benefit early would be of great assistance to our members. Adult dependent children are entitled to the same benefits as minors, regardless of residency or marital status, so long as they do not have available health coverage through their own employment. However, the children and spouses of dependents are not eligible for coverage. In order to qualify, please print out and complete the appropriate form (included in the link below) and provide Local 338 with the proper certificates. This information must then be mailed to the Local 338 Fund Office at: Please Click Here To Download the Application Form for Adult Dependent Children
