Comic Book Workers United

We, the workers of Image Comics, have formed a union.

Less than three months after being ratified, the union representing some Image Comics workers is having issues with their employer. @cbwupdx @ImageComics thepopverse.com/image-comics-c…

Solidarity!

As we celebrate this victory, we also want to reaffirm that this contract is just the first step, and we hope you will stick with us as we continue the fight for union representation and more equitable working conditions for everyone in the comic book industry and beyond. [4/5]

She would also appreciate one of those delicious squeezy meat tubes with the weird pink chicken as long as you are already up, thank you. 😼

B-B-B-BONUS FIGHTER Failing ethical consumption under capitalism, Muriel will settle for the implementation of systems that protect employees from hostile work environments and encourage integrity and accountability from creators and management alike. #drawninsolidarity

Finishing out our CBWU pet post series with honorary member, Science the Dog! This pro-union-good-boy says, "Workers of the world, unite!" #drawninsolidarity

Loud noises can make Nimona nervous. But a company that normalizes discussing its employees workloads and salary eases all of her anxiety. Equal pay for comparable work! #drawninsolidarity

Studies have shown that being around dogs like CBWU pet, Luna, can be good for your health. Studies have ALSO shown that 401K employer matching can improve employee morale and retention, and provide better tax benefits to your company. #drawninsolidarity

CBWU pet, Jubblet, is a kitten so we only need to feed her a small amount, but every year she'll grow a little bit bigger. For her to survive and be happy and healthy, her food quantity needs to grow bigger as well. Makes sense, right? #drawninsolidarity

CBWU pet, Friendo almost coughed up a hairball trying to explain how vital and important it is for a workplace to have detailed documentation of how tasks and projects are expected to be completed. #drawninsolidarity

Illyana, our next CBWU pet, says that when you don't feel encouraged, respected, and valued in the workplace, it can feel like you're the runt of the litter, and nobody wants to feel like that. 😿 #drawninsolidarity
