HarperCollins union goes on strike over wages and benefits, diversity policy and union protection

Quote:

Some 250 copy editors, marketing assistants and other employees at HarperCollins Publishers went on strike Thursday, with the two sides differing over wages and benefits, diversity policy and union protection. It was a rare work stoppage in book publishing, where HarperCollins is the only company among the industry’s so-called “Big Five” to have a labor union.

I'm glad they have a union, and I hope this works out well.

I suspect that, given the gutting of labor laws in the US, it will only end with cheaper scab editors being hired. But it's good to know to avoid HarperCollins books until the strike ends.
