John Maher, Claire Kirch and Jim Milliot at Publishers Weekly report the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) organized a rally outside the Barnes & Noble Flagship Store in New York City’s Union Square last week in an effort to push the company into reaching a contract with Workers by the end of the year.  An RWDSU spokesperson said that contract negotiations are in their final stages, with an agreement on wages the last major holdout. Following the rally, attendees delivered boxes of letters in support of the Union, which were crowd-sourced from the public by the RWDSU, at the corporate headquarters and at the nearby apartment of CEO James Daunt.
