Image Comics Didn’t Recognize Comic Book Workers United
The pandemic caused a lot of folks to evaluate how much their employers value them as people, but we’re not sure anyone had “Image Comics workers unionize” on their bingo cards for 2021. That said, the news was fantastic to hear—except for the part where the publisher refused to voluntarily recognize the union, and put up needless roadblocks to the unionization by asking the National Labor Relations Board for a secret-ballot election. Pretty rude of a company which claims it “always believed in the fair and equitable treatment of staff and has always strived to support employees,” if you ask us.
