How can you help?

If you think this is disgusting — especially from a company like HPB — tell them how you feel!

Tag @halfpricebooks on social media, and/or call the corporate number at 800-883-2114 and tell them to pay their workers what we're worth!

We finally asked the company if the issue was whether they could afford to pay us the fair, livable wages we are asking for. They said:

"It's not that we can't; it's that we won't."

They admitted they could afford to pay us more; they just don't want to.
