Strand workers wrote for Labor Notes about how the store owner took a PPP loan while laying off union employees labornotes.org/blogs/2020/08/…

Thank you to everyone who’s been getting the word out about Bass Wyden and Strand books for their anti-worker union-busting behavior! It’s been a lonely fight and having support from the book lover community means the world to us!

Wanna know what it’s like to really work at the Strand? @The_Lit_Witch does an amazing job relating all the dirty (roach-infested, gas-leaking) details. NO ONE deserves to be treated this way. Wake up, NYC!

One week away from the election -- many of us are feeling scared. Scared about if we will have a job, healthcare, or autonomy over our own bodies. But these moments aren't about ignoring your fear. It's about turning that fear into the fuel propelling us forward.

Great article from Dan Reilly over on InsideHook. We aren’t asking a lot. Just a fair shake from a store we love and have dedicated and given so much to. bit.ly/2JL4xXC

OK, NOW is the time to give the Strand your dollars . . . plus let them know why!
