🧭--MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT--🧭
UW7S is happy to announce that Seven Seas has agreed to voluntarily recognize us as the union based on a majority card check. This decision by Seven Seas eliminates the need for an NLRB conducted election and will pave the way for a more expedited path

[United Workers of Seven Seas @_UW7S]

As of today, @_UW7S (with the assistance of our @CWAUnion reps) have officially voted to ratify our first contract with Seven Seas Entertainment. WE did it!

Hello, fellow sailors!
We are still at the bargaining table. At the time of writing, we have yet to reach an agreement—and as such, some members are facing financial difficulties due to medical problems.
This thread is a space to boost community aid for our crew!

Cy is facing a tough financial situation and would appreciate any financial support you can give!

Today's #WorkerWednesday features an organization that is not unionizing, but is revolutionizing the publishing world. We Need Diverse Books (@diversebooks) champions getting books with diverse characters into the hands of children.

[United Workers of Seven Seas @_UW7S]

WNDB provides valuable services to kids, teachers, authors, and publishing professionals. From grants to paid internships to book donations, they are working from top to bottom to ensure "all children can see themselves in the pages of a book."

Thank you to everyone for your overwhelming support!

[HarperCollins Union @hcpunion]

FRIENDS: we are CLOSING the strike fund because we have raised around $40,000 for our workers today. This will allow us to give all 200+ strikers $200 of hardship money. Thank you for your absolutely wild support of our workers and stay posted for updates!!

[United Workers of Seven Seas @_UW7S]

We’re back for Worker Wednesday! Today’s a big day for our featured workers of HarperCollins @hcpunion who are striking today towards meaningful change in the publishing industry! They are braving 100° weather to demand fair wages and a greater commitment to diversifying staff.

[United Workers of Seven Seas @_UW7S]

If you would like to donate money towards @hcpunion's cause, please note they are ONLY taking donations on Venmo. Links to any other support campaigns are likely fraud.

AX is an unfortunate reminder that the Covid pandemic isn’t over yet! Some of our staff and friends of staff tested positive post-con. If you feel sick or test positive, please remember to let your body rest!
