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

@bookstodon This article collects little painted portraits of the HarperCollins Union picket line, and it's a lovely look at what's been going on there.

This means our pressure campaign is working. The strike will continue until we reach a fair contract agreement. Please continue to hold the line. Thank you!

(2/3) Update from the HarperCollins Union this morning:

HarperCollins has agreed to enter mediation with our union. We are hopeful the company will use this opportunity to settle fairly and reset our relationship.

So Slate published a whole essay yesterday about a debut HarperCollins author's conflicted feelings about launching their book amidst the HarperCollins strike, and yep, it pretty much sums up my own feelings on the topic. https://slate.com/culture/2023/01/harpercollins-strike-book-publishing-vintage-contemporaries.html #HarperCollins #HarperCollinsUnion #HarperCollinsStrike #bookstodon

@bookstodon The HarperCollins Union is planning to stage a rally in front of News Corp HQ. Go if you can and support them.

"79.1% of literary agents who participated in a survey conducted by the Association of American Literary Agents say that they support the HarperCollins union strike, which began on November 10. The union had previously asked agents to refrain from submitting new projects to HarperCollins until an agreement is reached."

Everyone scroll down for video from this chat (it was taken off HarperCollins' IG for obvious reasons).

@fannychoir@twitter.com is a legend for this.

I’ve heard from publishing sources that since the #HarperCollinsUnion strike, Harper has removed language about the strike from >Out Of Office< emails. Brian Murray mandated employees to come into the office and cross the picket lines. Senior staff isn’t protected.
