Today, a majority of the Board found that a union’s use of rats or other inflatables, along with other bannering activity, does not violate the National Labor Relations Act, even when targeting a neutral employer. Read more: nlrb.gov/news-outreach/…

We are interested in talking with other booksellers who are unionized, unionizing or considering organizing. Please contact us here! UAW Local 5810 #bookstoreworkers #booksellers

BEYOND THRILLED to say that WE WON OUR UNION. Excited to work with Center for Book Arts and @153Local to make the Center a stronger, more equitable organization.

Woohoo!! 🎉🎉🎉

‼️

We ratified our first contract last night! We still have lots to fight for, but we’re proud to have gotten this far.

Big update in the #UnionMadeChocolate world this week!

It is possible to unionize.

We are holding an information picket outside the shop tomorrow Sat 25th @ 2pm. The aim is to spread the word about conditions & gather support for Moe's Books Union; not impede business at the shop. Keep buying & trading your books at Moe's!

Solidarity to Moe's Books Union! Union busting is disgusting!

UPDATE: We just received word that Duke has filed a baseless appeal as a time-wasting tactic designed to break our resolve. Major thanks to all of you who wrote in demanding that they respect our voices. Please stay tuned & we'll let you know what actions we need going forward.

Solidarity from Bookshop Santa Cruz union!! UNION YES! ✊✊✊

Every day is a good day to share this 1999 letter from @ursulaleguin to Michael Powell in support of a unionized Powell's Books Books, but today is her birthday, so all the more reason. Happy birthday, Ursula ❤️

Looks like Half Price Books is adding the Union-Busting Playbook to their shelves 📚 Sending all the solidarity we can muster to the Half Price Books Workers United (MN)!

Solidarity to Half Price Books Workers United (MN)!
