Rally with Dark Horse Workers United! DHWU is calling all supporters to join us for a rally at Milwaukie Waterfront Park on August 3rd from 5pm to 6pm. 🧵

DHWU will fight for our amazing senior editors, and we call on Dark Horse to join us in good faith negotiations. No more underhanded attempts to reduce our union membership. The herd stands strong!

As of now, Senior Editors are not supervisors, but Dark Horse is hoping to sidestep this by giving them supervisory responsibilities and acting as if they were there the whole time.

Our Senior Editors, who have collectively brought over 100 years of dedication to creating some of your favorite comics, are now in the crosshairs.

Since the Voluntary Recognition Agreement has been signed, DHWU has been working in good faith with Dark Horse Comics to take next steps toward contract negotiations—but that good faith has not been reciprocated.

UNION UPDATE: tl;dr Dark Horse leadership is attempting to reduce union membership by claiming supervisory status for Senior Editors, who have never been allowed management roles. 🧵

#DHWU Update 🚨 Today, we and @DarkHorse.com have signed a Voluntary Recognition Agreement. We will now begin the collective bargaining process. Please stay tuned to our social media channels for updates in the future! 🐴✊

Another exciting milestone! Thank you for voicing your support, and helping us reach our goals. There’s still more work to do, so thank you for having our backs! #DHWU 🐴✊

We are excited to hear that Dark Horse has expressed their willingness to voluntarily recognize DHWU! We look forward to continuing to work together in order to bring this to fruition, and will update more as our status is finalized. #DHWU 🐴✊

UPDATE 🚨: Tomorrow, Dark Horse Workers United will learn whether Dark Horse leadership voluntarily recognizes our union, or whether we’ll be going to the ballot box. We will keep you posted, so please stay tuned! #DHWU 🐴✊
