In Solidarity with Duke University Press Staff

Posted in News

Statement from Duke University Press journal editors and editorial board members concerning the DUP Workers Union

“As the editors of academic journals, we are proud to collaborate with the outstanding professional staff at Duke University Press.  Whether working with copy-editors, graphic designers, production coordinators, or publicists, it is a privilege to interact with exceptionally talented workers in a variety of different fields and it is extremely gratifying to be able to present the work of our contributors in such a meticulous fashion with a world class university press.

We fully support the right of DUP staff to democratically organize in the formation of a union and collectively bargain a contract with their employer.  As a valued partner we sincerely hope that DUP will choose the path of a high-road employer and respect the rights of its staff to make decisions concerning union representation free from coercion, obstruction, or managerial interference.  Furthermore, we would strongly encourage DUP to voluntarily recognize the DUP Workers Union and its employees’ stated intentions without demanding a NLRB election.”
