Warehouse Workers Power NYC’s Fashion Industry. Now, They’re Unionizing

labornotes.org/2025/05/warehou

Labor Notes · Warehouse Workers Power NYC’s Fashion Industry. Now, They’re UnionizingMinutes from the high-end boutiques of SoHo in Manhattan sits Bergen Logistics’ fulfillment facility in North Bergen, New Jersey, where workers sort, package, and ship hundreds of packages a day for luxury fashion brands including Acne Studios, Kenzo, and Phillip Lim. The workers themselves can’t realistically afford the ornate gowns and crisp suits they ship to online shoppers. Some work two jobs just to stay afloat, and rush to keep up with unit-per-hour expectations.

#Marsinah worked at Catur Putra Surya, watch manufacturer in #Porong, East Java. In 1993, she helped organize a protest demanding wage increases. While the protest was initially successful, Marsinah disappeared shortly afterward. Her body was found three days later in a forest in #Nganjuk, showing signs of torture.

Her death is a symbol of the labor movement in #Indonesia. Every May workers #organize across the country vigils and events for her legacy and bravery.

"The 1 May protests were supported by hundreds of organizations and set to take place in nearly 1,000 cities, organizers said, with a focus on rallying against the Trump administration and “billionaire profiteers”. Turnout was predicted to be lower than the previous two April #protests because 1 May is a weekday, but tens of thousands were expected to turn out. Cities across the US from New York to Seattle to Anchorage, Alaska, saw major demonstrations."
