The Comic Book Industry's Next Page-Turner: Union Organizing

The Comic Book Industry's Next Page-Turner: Union Organizing

Quick summary:

1. 1, staffers from Image Comics — home to Spawn, The Walking Dead and Savage Dragon franchises — formed a union called Comic Book Workers United (CBWU), with 10 of the 12 eligible staffers voting to organize and go public.

2. 5 deadline passed with no official response from the company, although the company did issue a statement earlier that day reporting that the National Labor Relations Board was reviewing a petition filed by the CWA to allow eligible members of Image's staff to vote for CWA representation.

3. Management in every industry in the United States has been hostile to union organizing — the comic book industry is no different, a CWA rep says in a statement to THR
