Powell's City of Books has been fighting with labor ever since employees started organizing years ago. This is the latest chapter. Please remember that this is a local real estate development family. They are not benevolent crusaders for literacy. https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2023/09/powells-books-to-close-on-labor-day-as-hundreds-of-workers-go-on-strike.html #Portland #Labor #Strike #Solidarity

    Holy shit! Thank you for this. I naively thought Powell’s Books was some kind of benevolent, successful family business. They are a fucking greedy, human-hating, shit machine just like any other oppressive corporation.

    Back to small, local bookstores. Fuck Powell’s.

      We really can’t enjoy fucking shit under capitalism. This is why I’m a syndicalist.
