We just presented our petition! Check out our statement on why we're organizing and how we look forward to working with management, the executive staff, and our boards on this process — because all of us deserve equality at work. #NJ #NewJersey #unionproud #LGBTQ
Garden State Equality is a leader in LGBTQ+ advocacy, education, and wellness in New Jersey, while also creating a model of policy, strategic innovation, and structure for LGBTQ+ organizations nationwide to follow.

Our ethos is centered around the notions of anti-racism, self-determination, and collective people power. We don’t just advocate for the thousands of people we serve; we provide them the resources and support they need to advocate for themselves. We trust grassroots communities to know what they need better than we ever could. 

Garden State Equality Workers United is asking that the things we practice and preach externally reflect what we practice and preach internally. As employees of Garden State Equality, we are working in a world that makes our very existence difficult. Each one of us is honored to answer the call to serve in these impossible times through such an incredible organization. Yet, there are increasingly heavy demands made of us all that must be addressed.

The necessary, righteous work our morals compel us to do should not come at the cost of our mental, physical, and emotional health. We are asking for the implementation of genuine safety measures, transparency and involvement in organization-wide decisions, and fairer wages, among other equitable changes.With our organization’s twentieth anniversary celebration coming to a close, we now look toward the future.  Just as our organization’s new headquarters is a promise to New Jersey’s LGBTQ+ communities that we aren’t going anywhere, Garden State Equality Workers United is a promise that we will fight for each other’s tomorrow.

We welcome the collaboration of management and the executive staff in this process — because we all deserve equality at work.

Management behind three unionizing NYC games stores just agreed to a massive amount of job protections, even if pay-related matter remain on the table. Big win for Tabletop Workers United.
Text reads: In an email sent to Rascal, a TWU representative said the victory “means no more surprise clopens (back to back closing & opening shifts) or doubles, consistent hours and shifts, receiving schedules two weeks in advance, protections from ‘bleed’ of responsibilities, protections against taking union workers’ hours away and giving them to someone out-of-unit, enhanced disability accommodations, protections for trans and gender non-conforming employees, and guaranteed interviews for qualified unit members for any future job openings or promotions.”
