Youre racing through New Yorks Penn Station with just enough time to grab coffee and a doughnut. Speed walk your way right past that other national chain and head into one of two soon to be three Hudson News stores with new full-service Dunkin Donuts shops.
Youll be buying pastry with a union label more specifically, treats and sandwiches baked and sold by 60 of the newest members of The Newspaper Guild-CWA.
To the best of our knowledge, these are the only unionized Dunkin Donuts stores in the entire country, said Bill OMeara, president of the New York Guild, which organized the citys Hudson News newsstand employees 12 years ago.
The local represents about 240 Hudson retail and warehouse workers at Penn Station, Grand Central, the Port Authority and other New York City locations. But hard copies of newspapers and magazines dont sell as well as they once did, with so many readers getting their news online.
