As an #ABCAustralia lover, I was familiar with #EricCampbell's TV reporting. And it was a shock when the news broke in 2003 that he'd been injured and cameraman, Paul Moran, killed in a suicide car bomb attack in Northern Iraq.

The dangers Campbell faced as an award-winning ABC foreign correspondent are underscored by the line on the cover of his 2005 memoir, #Absurdistan (#HarperCollins), "a bumpy ride through some of the world's scariest, weirdest places".

The book is post #137 of my #bookcovers and #firstsentences homage on Instagram and opens with Acknowledgements and a Prologue, set in a hospital after the car bombing. But I chose to quote his first sentences from Chapter 1, Leaving, in my post:

Some people become television journalists to shine light in the darkness, making films to expose injustice and build understanding. More do it just for the money. Many see television as glamorous; a few hope it will make them famous. But to my knowledge, nobody ever became a television reporter to film caravan parks in East Gippsland. It was just how things worked out for me.

- Use Library Genesis & Anna's Archive
https://annasarchive.org
http://libgen.st

- Help build or support a shadow library that isn't on some white libertarian nonsense
Then people don't have to use the above two

- Destroy the multinational corporate behemoths behind the lawsuit
(Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins Publishers, John Wiley & Sons, and Penguin Random House)

- Overthrow the illegitimate government which issued the ruling
Fascist police states built on slavery & genocide are bad, actually

The HarperCollins union is continuing the noble human tradition of working together for the common good. As mentioned earlier, this win will ripple out through the industry, as some companies raise wages to prevent unionization in their workforce, as other companies see their own strikes, and a new industry standard wage is set.

That’s a huge change, especially when you remember that it came from less than 300 people, plus however many supported them through the strike.

Congrats to the workers of #HarperCollins! Just read that after a three month strike, they won their contract.

I love how this NPR piece on the tentative agreement between #HarperCollins and the Harper Collins Workers Union, while mentioning the pitiful raise and pathetic concessions, as well as the promised retaliatory layoff coming next year ("because of increasing costs" and "declining revenue"), there is no mention of how much the executives make in bonus every fucking years, or how many millions they're paying DeathSantis to lie.

#SupportWorkers #SupportUnions

THEY DID IT!!!!

HARPER FINALLY REACHED A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THEIR UNION!!!! 🔥 :heart_fire: 💖 🎆 🎇 🎉 ✊ 💪

After 66 work days on #strike (3 full months; tomorrow would be the 4th month to the day as they went on strike Nov 10th), #HarperCollins and the HarperCollins Union have reached a tentative agreement that includes "increases to minimum salaries across levels" and a $1,500 lump-sum bonus to all union employees.

More details to come!

Excited to see the Harper Collins Union may have reached a tentative agreement with HC. Interested in seeing what happens there. #HarperCollins #HarperCollinsUnion
