B&H Photo Warehouse Workers Vote to Unionize 
---------------------------------------------


 
Hundreds of warehouse workers for New York City's B&H Photo Video have
voted overwhelmingly to unionize. Wednesday's 200-to-88 vote to join the
United Steelworkers union comes after the warehouse workers organized
for more than a year with the support of the group, the Laundry Workers
Center. The workers are now demanding a contract that will protect them
from what they describe as dangerous working conditions inside B&H's two
Brooklyn warehouses.
