Put it in the books: Union Square Barnes & Noble workers file for union election
Workers said that their pay at the flagship store was below that of other independent booksellers. They also said they hoped to improve workplace organization around scheduling practices and well-defined duties and tasks. They emphasized that safety, especially in the Union Square area, has been a continuous source of stress at this stage during the pandemic.
“We’re working at the Flagship store in the middle of Union Square, in New York City and we don’t have the proper training we need to handle the conflicts that arise at our store. As the city rebounds from the pandemic we’ve seen an increase in homeless and combative customers in our stores and we want to keep ourselves and other customers safe,” said Desiree Nelson, a lead bookseller.
Members of the proposed bargaining unit for the Union Square include booksellers, baristas, cashiers and all non-supervisory employees. The union said that the NLRB could set the Union Square store election for as early as next month.
