* 110 unionized workers at NYC's iconic Strand Books went on strike on Saturday, demanding a pay increase from $16 to $18 an hour. * The workers, represented by the United Auto Workers, want a $2 hourly raise in the first year of the contract, followed by $1.50 per hour raises in the second and third years. * Strand Books' management has offered 50 cents less for each year, leading to a labor dispute. * The two sides are due back at the bargaining table on Monday. * The strike has left the store with a skeleton staff, but employees plan to continue picketing outside the store. * The union has been locked in labor disputes with management multiple times since the start of the pandemic. * #StrandBooksStrike * #LivingWage * #UnionRights * #LaborDispute * #NYCWorkers * #MinimumWage * #WageIncrease * #BookstoreStrike https://gothamist.com/news/workers-go-on-strike-at-nycs-iconic-strand-books-ask-owners-to-pay-more-than-minimum-wage
