Dark Horse Layoffs Trigger Union Showdown

Dark Horse Media, a publisher crucial for manga fans, just announced layoffs affecting nine employees. But this isn't a quiet corporate move. The Dark Horse Workers Union, formed last year, is fighting back hard.

This publisher, known for licensing manga giants like Berserk and Hellsing, confirmed the cuts this week. However, the union quickly challenged the decision, citing violations of their collective bargaining agreement. They're filing grievances and demanding talks with management. This clash isn't just about nine jobs; it's a critical test for worker power in the comic and manga world.
