Your Union Has Your Back!

It pays to belong to Local 1445 - just ask Angie Goldsmith. After being unjustly terminated, Angie turned to Local 1445 for help and is she glad she did!

FIVE YEARS AGO cosmeticians working at Macy's in Saugus voted overwhelmingly to join Local 1445. Since then, Macy's has thrown up every roadblock it can to prevent these workers from getting a first contract that will guarantee them the legal protections and respect they deserve.

Liberty Bay

Another great benefit for Local 1445 members - Employee Preferred Personal Banking. Liberty Bay Credit Union has partnered with Local 1445 to make their Employee Preferred Personal Banking plan available to our members.
