, workers say these salaries aren’t enough, especially in New York City, where the company is based. LeBlanc said this makes the publishing industry exclusionist and only available to people who already come from wealthy families.
“It’s disheartening, and it’s demoralizing that the company is choosing to spend money on bringing in external workers who are not familiar with the systems. They don’t have institutional knowledge, and they’re likely very inexperienced in how publishing works,” said Harshberger. “It just seems like management is really misunderstanding what’s at stake here. Most authors don’t want their books in the hands of inexperienced people.
LeBlanc has also told his agent that he refuses to work with scab agents. Currently, his editor is non-union, and he has sent two letters of support to the management team. When asked if he feels any concern about retaliation for showing support of the union, he said that’s “always a fear.”
