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 💖
Don’t cross the picket line! Don’t be a scab! Don’t buy Starbucks coffee while their workers are on strike! There a several coffee shops less than a minute away from the roastery, this is Seattle.
Imagine waiting over 90 minutes in line for coffee made by managers and scabs while the @sbworkersunited baristas are asking you to support us by not crossing the picket line. All you gotta do is leave!

Solidarity with @NYTimesGuild! Don’t cross the digital picket line. Get your news elsewhere!
We are happy to be able to share that we reached an agreement with @ElliottBayBooks mgmt in yesterday's session on provisions to address each of these issues! This agreement will now go the whole unit for ratification. Deeply grateful for all the solidarity 💜✊
We are bargaining today! We are 15 months into our 3-year CBA with @ElliottBayBooks and while some things are smooth sailing, others demand to be addressed prior to 2024. We're pleased management is willing to meet and bargain - here's what we're hoping to accomplish:

The Book Workers Union is happy to be going into mid-contract negotiations with the new ownership of the Elliott Bay Book Co to discuss changes to our dental insurance plan, wages, and future pandemic-paid sick leave.
David Spaner joins us this Friday for an evening of Canadian labor history. See you Sept. 30, at 7PM at the Elliott Bay Book Company!
Anyone who is able to turn out today for this rally, please consider doing so. These firings are blatantly retaliatory (i.e., illegal) but legal redress can take months or years. These workers are calling for community support to exert pressure now - let's make it happen!
Stand in solidarity with MightyKidz workers at the solidarity rally on Sun., Aug. 14 at 1 p.m. at Ella Bailey Park and email MightyKidz leadership in support of getting these union workers re-instated!

Very pleased to be able to share that through the work of our LMC, Elliott Bay will resume a version of its past policy of shipping books to incarcerated people. The store encountered issues in shipping to prisons a few years ago that led to the cessation of shipments entirely.
Congratulations to the @Page1Workers for all their work in organizing to get here, and good on mgmt for recognizing the quite clear will of the workers and not wasting time and resources on an unnecessary election. Onwards to a good first contract - we're with you all the way!
We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that we’ve been voluntarily recognized by the owner of @page1books, and we’re excited to begin the process of negotiating a contract. If you’d like to show your support, feel free to stop by Page 1 and tell the staff how excited you are!
Well this is illegal - really hope someone is advising these workers that this is a clear ULP, that you do not have to be Unionized to file a ULP, and that filing ULPs is very easy to do. Solidarity with you all - don't go down without a fight.

Yes friends!!! Whether the employer is the most openly exploitative capitalist or the most sincere reformer, the workers do the work and their Union is their voice. We fully expect @RealChangeNews to live up to its stated ideals and immediately voluntarily recognize the Union.
