    >>Shea Dunlop, a sales representative at Abrams, said attitudes have shifted among younger employees, who no longer accept the old argument that publishing is a labor of love.

    “The idea that publishing is a creative career that you are lucky to land a job in has allowed the general public and people who are making the rules around here to keep wages low,” Dunlop said. “The idea is, ‘Oh, you’re lucky to have this job.’ I’d love to buy into that mind set if I could, but I have rent to pay.” <<

    So many employers in fields like arts and entertainment, sports, the media, and academia us this 'labor of love' label as an excuse to exploit their employees.

    I hope that the Hachette workers are successful in getting a good contract.
