🎉 Bookshop Santa Cruz employees recently won their vote to unionize after a successful petition on https://t.co/dU027cunIC. We sat down with them to hear about the experience and how they won. 🎉 @BSCworkers

Solidarity to @HPBUnionMN!

[Half Price Books Workers United (MN) @HPBUnionMN]

Adding this one too to get all the alt text in there so everyone can know what the company is saying- pushing this at every location!

[ILWU Local 5 @ILWULocal5]

Looks like @halfpricebooks is adding the Union-Busting Playbook to their shelves 📚

Sending all the solidarity we can muster to the @HPBUnionMN!

[ILWU Local 5 @ILWULocal5]

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

[Dandelion Chocolate Union @UnionDandelion]

It is possible to unionize.

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

[Half Price Books Workers United (MN) @HPBUnionMN]

We are workers at Half Price Books in MN. We marched on our boss today and told them we are forming a Union. Who's with us?! https://t.co/KwdprNNqm2 #HPBUnion @UFCW

[DUP Workers Union @DUPWorkersUnion]

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.

[BSC Workers Union @BSCworkers]

Solidarity to @moesbooksunion! Union busting is disgusting!

[Industrial Workers of the World @iww]

[Industrial Workers of the World @iww]

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 @moesbooksunion; not impede business at the shop. Keep buying & trading your books at Moe's!

[Book Workers Union @book_workers]

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

[BSC Workers Union @BSCworkers]

@CofIndustry @UnionElections @UniforLocal1285 Temporary workers under the same employer are often excluded too. We had all of our "on-call" and temporary/seasonal workers be excluded from a wall-to-wall bargaining unit. The employer did not want them included and NLRB agreed. Perhaps things will change under the new NLRB.

[BSC Workers Union @BSCworkers]

@EricDirnbach @UnionElections Woohoo! ✊✊✊

Labor Board's new general counsel is signaling interest in pursuing potential groundbreaking change, like finding it illegal for firms not to recognize unions once majority sign cards if boss is "unable to explain its reason for doubting majority status" https://t.co/ZCu0AgxuV8

[BSC Workers Union @BSCworkers]

Woohoo!! 🎉🎉🎉

[Book Workers Union @book_workers]

Thrilled to announce that we have reached final text of a tentative agreement with Elliott Bay on our first contract! We will be holding a ratification vote later this week. Thank you to our community for helping us reach this important milestone 💖
