🧭--MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT--🧭 UW7S is happy to announce that Seven Seas has agreed to voluntarily recognize us as the union based on a majority card check. This decision by Seven Seas eliminates the need for an NLRB conducted election and will pave the way for a more expedited path

Hello, fellow sailors! We are still at the bargaining table. At the time of writing, we have yet to reach an agreement—and as such, some members are facing financial difficulties due to medical problems. This thread is a space to boost community aid for our crew!

Negotiations for a new contract with HarperCollins have been in the works since Dec. 2021. After a long period of silence from HC on continuing negotiations, the HC Union workers voted to strike - which effectively brought attention back to negotiations. https://t.co/m1mTYVtvnx
