[NFBSF] National Braille Press Solidarity Letter

[David Sexton]

Here's the letter:

To the leadership of National Braille Press:
We are family members, friends, former NBP employees, union siblings,
authors, publishing professionals, readers, and other supporters who are
proud to stand with National Braille Press workers as they organize a union
with IUE-CWA Local 201.
These workers are coming together for sustainable compensation, safe and
healthy working conditions, greater investment in training and staffing,
opportunities for professional development, and fair and flexible working
conditions.
NBP workers deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Their work
helps make books, information, and educational materials accessible to
blind and visually impaired people across the country. By investing in the
workers who make that mission possible, NBP can strengthen both its
workplace and the community it serves.
We urge National Braille Press to voluntarily recognize their union and
meet them at the bargaining table in good faith without delay.
We are proud to support NBP workers—and look forward to continuing to
support National Braille Press publications, products, and services made
possible by union labor.
