In 2023, Comic Book Workers United made history by becoming the first union in the comic book industry to ratify a contract. This achievement is a significant milestone in the long and complex history of labor rights within the industry.
The journey to this moment has spanned over seven decades, beginning with the first attempts by comic workers to organize. Despite numerous challenges, the determination of these workers has finally led to a formal agreement.
This contract ratification not only represents a victory for the union but also sets a precedent for future organizing efforts in the comic book sector and beyond.
