Politics and Prose recognizes union

2022 is off to a good start with the news on Monday that Politics and Prose is now the first unionized bookstore in the nation's capital. Management at the progressive DC bookstore has now formally recognized UFCW Local 400 as the collective bargaining agent for the Politics & Prose Workers Union, and have committed to working together to negotiate a contract. "We are proud to join the growing movement of booksellers and baristas across the country who have unionized their workplaces," said the Politics and Prose organizing committee, while P&P owners Bradley Graham and Lissa Muscatine said "As stewards of a local, independent business with a 37-year legacy of progressive management and mission, we've valued collaborating with employees to solve problems and address needs, and we look forward to working with the union in the same spirit."

DNC staff votes to unionize

Staffers at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Tuesday voted to unionize and join with Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 500, [link removed] reported The Hill yesterday. "We are incredibly excited to join SEIU Local 500 to live our Democratic values at our workplace," DNC staffer and union leader Alison Goh said in a statement. "Throughout this process, our aim has been not only to improve the lives of current and future staff at the DNC, but to ensure our staff, no matter where they live, are protected and given the resources they need to thrive in their careers and succeed in our mission to elect Democrats up and down the ballot." The unionization effort at the DNC is one of the largest yet to take place within Democratic politics, following similar moves at various campaigns and consulting firms.


Today's Labor Quote: Politics and Prose organizing committee

Today's Labor History

This week's Labor History Today podcast: [link removed] Long live Mother Jones! Last week's show: [link removed] Murder, Race and (In)Justice.


Ford Motor Company raises wages from $2.40 for a 9-hour day to $5 for an 8 hour day in effort to keep the unions out - 1914

Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge begins. Ten of the eleven deaths on the job came when safety netting beneath the site - the first-ever use of such equipment - failed under the stress of a scaffold that had fallen. Nineteen other workers were saved by the net over the course of construction. They became members of the (informal) Halfway to Hell Club - 1933

- David Prosten.
