Moe s Booksellers Unionize Mar 11, 2021
A growing unionization movement is afoot among booksellers and publishing workers across the country. On Wednesday, employees at Moe’s Books joined their ranks, announcing that they have formed a union and joined the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Twenty of the Berkeley, Calif.-based bookstore’s 21 employees have signed on. The union was immediately recognized by store owner Doris Moskowitz.
Moe Moskowitz opened the store in 1959. It has long been helmed by veteran booksellers, some of whom have worked there for four decades. But during the pandemic, bookseller Noah Ross said some booksellers departed, and newer employees were hired. When employees proposed ideas for how the store should reopen to foot traffic, Ross said their requests were not heeded by management.
