Borders workers get a contract

AS WE WENT to press last issue, we learned that the workers at Borders, Inc., signed a contract with the company.

The Union contract at Borders’ Store No. 1, in Ann Arbor, represents a significant step forward for workers in the so-called “service industry.”

The new two-year deal includes job-security provisions, overtime guarantees, a grievance procedure and “agency shop” status for the Union.

While little room was gained in economic areas, and health benefits are still fully governed by Borders, the gains made in this contract are a real victory for the workers.

We congratulate the workers on getting recognition and a contract.
