Workers at the Barnes & Noble in Manhattan's Union Square, one of the retail chain's signature stores and home to its corporate offices, have voted to unionize.
They join employees at a handful of other Barnes & Noble stores in the Northeast who have affiliated with unions in recent weeks, following a wave of union activity over the past few years at independent booksellers.
In an announcement Wednesday, the RWDSU cited issues at the Union Square store ranging from workplace harassment to "unstable scheduling practices" and "favoritism by management."
