Now I (and many of my coworkers) get the feeling that if anyone in management even gets the whiff of unionization in the store, they will crack down hard and jobs will be lost. Working at a bookstore can be a joy, but what was said about the poor hours and little pay is very, very true and I can entirely understand why the Robson's crew would vote to unionize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
