MLB has an exclusive deal with New Era to make our on-field hats in the US. But now New Era is planning to close its factory in NY next month and eliminate 200 union jobs in favor of non-union (cheaper) labor. #NewEraHatsOff 
This move would mean New Era would pay workers less in both wages and benefits to make the hats in FL - and 200 NY families would be out of a job. (New Era also cut hundreds of union jobs in AL back in 2009.)

This isn’t the first time that jobs of union garment workers who make MLB uniforms have been in jeopardy. In 2017, MLB was able to step in and help broker a deal to save 600 textile jobs at the Majestic factory in PA. It was a win for everyone.
