Established in 2016, the New York Nail Salon Workers Association (NYNSWA) is a membership organization of more than 800 nail salon workers uniting to re-imagine and transform the industry to one that is healthy, dignified and just. Since NYNSWA’s founding in 2016, it has educated members around wage and hour law, health and safety, unions, and immigration. NYNSWA also established the first not-for-profit nail salon school in New York in partnership with the New York Committee for Occupational Safety & Health and Adhikaar.

The New York New Jersey Regional Joint Board of Workers United is the proud union home of NYNSWA.
