Sexy Bookworms Foment Revolutionary Love

[Retail Worker]

Coming hot on the heels of a union victory in
Minneapolis, employees at the Ann Arbor Borders Books
- the original flagship store of the Ann Arbor-based
international bookseller - have announced that they've
succumbed yet again to the seductive promises of
another brawny and charming UFCW local, and have
petitioned the NLRB for a union election seeking to
authorize UFCW 876 as their bargaining agent; in
return for the UFCW's assistance, the Borders
employees have promised to rock the UFCW's world with
their demands for union democracy and transparency in
contract negotiations. 

The Ann Arbor store, which has a much larger "staff"
than the recently-unionized Minneapolis store, had two
previous organizing drives in 1996 and 1997, with the
assistance of two different UFCW locals. In 1996,
employees filed for an election but later cancelled
the date after a stern talking-to from management.
Subsequently, 10 other Borders stores went on to have
union elections, but in most cases the union wasn't
consumated, and even when it was, employees were left
unsatisfied. The Minneapolis store is the only 
currently unionized store.

The union vote in Ann Arbor, which will be scheduled
soon, will be the 12th union election at a Borders
store in the past six years. Employee/organizers are
confident that this time they will keep the date.
