Barnes & Noble workers and labor groups rallied to demand the retailer reach a union contract for employees before the holiday shopping season begins.
We're asking at this point in our negotiations for a fair contract, said Gina Fowler, a senior barista and bookseller, insisting on a living wage.
Workers insisted that, despite recent store closures, the company has refused to pay fair wages and is stalling union negotiations for contracts and benefits.
The company offered the union a 25-cent raise during bargaining, while the starting pay at each location remains at $18 per hour.
