HPB is paying union-busting lawyers thousands while many of us can’t afford to live in the cities are stores are in. CEO Sharon Anderson has said she considers us to be family, but at the bargaining table we’re being told they can afford to pay us a living wage – they just won’t.

Companies often discourage workers from discussing pay. Why? Because information is power. When we talk about our wages, we open the door for all of us to make more. So if you're near a union HPB, come by and let's talk about what we’re reading and why we need raises!

Moony wants you all to know that even though he's grown quite a bit in the last 7 months, he STILL sits and stands with us! We know he'd send an email to HPB telling them to pay us a living wage if he had thumbs. But he doesn't. So he needs YOU to visit

“We’re dreaming of a future where every book worker has the opportunity to unionize, because our labor creates the value from which our companies profit, and we deserve to have a voice in the way our workplaces operate and the ways in which we’re compensated.” -David Gutsche

We’re so excited they’re joining our union family and fighting for change at their store. Westport’s victory means we’ve organized nearly 10% of the company, and we can’t wait to see who joins us at the bargaining table next! 👀

Time to live up to your mission statement, Half Price Books. 😤 We bargain again this coming week, and we expect the company to come to the table with a better offer than their horribly insulting opening economic package. Union strong! ✊ #UFCW #1u #HPBUnion #LivingWage

When we made the decision to unionize, we worked with organizers at @UFCW to make that happen! @StartAUnionUFCW is a space for us all to share stories and answer questions people have about the unionizing process.

We receive a wide range of questions about unions so we thought we'd start with an overview of the essentials. HOW exactly do you start a union? Well, we've made this video to help break the whooole unionizing process down into 7 steps.
