"It’s now easier than ever to donate to our strike fund—no more checks!

We’re so grateful to those who‘ve donated as we put our paychecks and careers on hold to get a fair contract.

Continued support is more critical than ever. Donate below! ❤️"

Harper Collins management and owners have remained silent for a full month.

From HCPUnion on twitter:
"We will be pausing our in-person picket line and significantly reducing our online presence to give our strikers a chance to spend time with their loved ones this holiday season. Our in-person picket will resume on 1/3."

Josh Cook of Square Books (on twitter): "Sure looks to me like
HarperCollins is trying to just wait out the HCP Union strike. If you've made some money in books, paying it forward with a donation to their strike fund would be a great way to help improve the publishing industry."

Note: HCPU has not asked for boycotts, but it doesn't hurt to be aware that so many of the genre romances we enjoy are put out by people who often have to choose which bills to pay on any given month.
