The HarperCollins Union, which represents 250 employees, just announced that they’ve voted to ratify the contract negotiated with publishing giant HarperCollins and will return to work on February 21.
This comes about a week after a tentative agreement was announced, and a strike that has lasted since November 10, 2022.
