At 4am, Tues 2 July, the director Marin Scarlett and a team of around 20 people illegally drilled into the newly occupied The People’s Letters bookshop (formerly The Scarlett Letters) to clear it out. Three workers were sleeping downstairs, including one who is 27 weeks pregnant.

We’ve launched a campaign on Everpress! The booksellers at The People's Letters (formerly The Scarlett Letters) unanimously unionised to fight for our basic rights as employees (fixed contracts & sick pay being our main demands) only to be met with extreme union busting.
Last day today!!
Our hardship fund has 2 days remaining! All funds will support the 10 employees made redundant when the director closed our workplace in response to us unionising

The director of The Scarlett Letters has chosen to announce the shop will be closing - meaning all ten of the workers, one of whom has a baby on the way, are losing their jobs. If you can afford to donate to the hardship fund, it would be greatly appreciated.
All booksellers at The Scarlett Letters were already at risk of having their shifts cut and effectively fired - now they have been told that some of them WILL be made redundant. If you are able to contribute to the hardship fund to support them, please do. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-the-…

If you want to read Hooker Mentality, all profits from the next 20 copies sold will go to The People's Letters to keep workers paid and help us with costs for setting up as a co-op! Same goes for the next 5 copies of Working Guys. mxjackparker.bigcartel.com
