Famed Washington, D.C., bookseller Politics and Prose has secured high-powered law firm Jones Day to represent it, after employees filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board seeking an election to unionize.
As former union members themselves, co-owners Bradley Graham and Lissa Muscatine are not anti-union, Graham told FOX Business in an email. But they do not feel that a union is right for their three stores with a total of 104 employees, and want those workers to have a fair election to make the decision.

DCist/WAMU reported that two Politics and Prose employees approached co-owner Bradley Graham last week and declared that a "supermajority" of workers had signed cards agreeing to form a union, while asking him to voluntarily recognize it. He declined, and the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 400 filed a petition with the NLRB for an election.
The outlet also reported on Politics and Prose's hiring of Jones Day – which has represented former President Donald Trump – saying the firm is "known for its aggressive anti-union tactics."
Graham told FOX Business that Politics and Prose has hired Jones Day in the past "on other matters."
