Love comes to Babeland just in time for Valentine’s Day
Sex shop workers sign first union contract in the country
Shoppers come to Babeland for sex toys, lotions, vibrators, erotic movies and non-judgmental advice from trained educators who teach classes on topics like how to find that sweet spot.
But employee concerns and the movement to unionize threatened the vibe at the popular sex boutiques, founded in Park Slope 20 years ago, with two branches in Manhattan.
Now, just in time for Valentine’s Day, love has returned to Babeland. The sex educators and sales associates at the shops have ratified their first union contract, joining the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU).
