Congratulations to the workers at PetSmart in East Hartford CT who overwhelming voted for their first union contract on November 8th. These workers started the journey towards forming their union in October of 2024 and have stayed unified through numerous challenges both at work and at the labor board. Their unity paid off and they are now celebrating the first United States union contract for PetSmart, with lots of workplace improvements including numerous safety and job protections and guaranteed raises.
