HarperCollins Publishers


The main purpose of our Union is to bargain a legally binding contract that covers wages, benefits, terms and conditions of our employment. Collective bargaining gives us a democratic voice in improving our lives and helps us protect our jobs.

We have had a union here for over 60 years (and have been affiliated with the UAW for about 30 years), and have been able to win things in our contracts like guaranteed annual raises and health benefits, including mental health coverage. Without collective bargaining, HarperCollins would have unilateral power to change the terms of our employment. With a collective bargaining agreement, the publisher has to negotiate any changes to our working conditions and benefits with us.
