This is the Bookry podcast.

It's weekly news and talk show about what's new, cool, and worth talking about the world of books and reading.

Today's Thursday, February 16, 2023.

I'm Jeff O'Neill here with Rebecca Shinsky coming to you from Book Riot.

So all the labor issues are solved, right, Rebecca? We're all good everything's fine just you

know very cool it's just magically over yeah I guess the lead publishing story of

the week is that Harper Collins and their union has reached a tentative agreement.

We don't know the details of it now, so there's not much else to say, but it is...

I always find this as an outside observer of these kinds of you negotiations

it's picket lines and they're bad and bad faith and then there's a deal sign and

everyone goes quiet and all it's fine. I just I don't there's something about the the conflict avoid

in me that's like is this that's normal that's fine I mean I guess I understand it

but it does seem strange yeah I think it's that everyone goes silent and then everything is fine, that those are actually two separate things, but they, or they can be two separate things, but they look like one thing because it goes from being very dramatic and sort of publicly visible to okay there is an agreement and then not even all the details are released you know like what we do know is that there will be an increase in the minimum salary

across an array of jobs.

We don't know what that increase will be and that there will be a one-time bonus of $1,500 to union members.
