I'm on a quest to visit as many Hobbit-style houses right here in the U.S. as I possibly can. And I'm bringing you along with me!

Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.
The Return of the King, J.R.R. Tolkien

HarperCollins Strike Update
For the full breakdown of what’s been going on since November, read here.
January 20, 2023
It’s been over FIFTY days. The strike is still ongoing. Harper has yet to even speak to the union.
Union members are still scraping on their second and third hustles (which most entry-level publishing people have) and donations to the strike fund. The union has set up a hardship fund (here’s the post about it on their official Instagram, for verification) so no more fiddling with checks or Venmo.
If you can donate, please do.
And whether you can or can’t, please do still share.

I've never seen a normal post about C.S. Lewis and JRR Tolkien it's always just like: Tolkien once murdered someone and Lewis helped him bury the body but he wore a Santa costume just to spite him

February 21, 2023 - FINAL UPDATE
For a chronological timeline of the entire Harper strike, click here.
Today was the Harper Union’s first day back at their desks.
Collective action works.
The union tweeted out a full summation of their agreement with HarperCollins here, but the highlights are as follows:
Minimum wage increase, immediately to $47,500 with a ramp-up to $50,000 by 2025.
A $1,500 bonus for all union members, presumably to partially offset the costs of being left without a paycheck by their company since November
Guaranteed annual raises for all marked satisfactory or above
Union letter and membership card included in new-hire packets
Joint Labor/Management committee to meet monthly
Time on aforementioned committee and/or all company-sponsored DEI activities will be seen as and paid as work time (as opposed to the free labor junior employees were expected to contribute previously)
Juneteenth and Presidents’ Day added as permanent paid holidays (as opposed to, you know, a one-time publicity stunt a la June 2020)
Return-to-office not mandated for union employees until July 1 (currently, Harper expects employees to live and work in NYC)
The above are just the guaranteed, contractually mandated changes that will be implemented at Harper. This does not include the ripple effects that have already begun in the rest of the industry.
Collective action works.
