Simon and Schuster staffers call for Mike Pence memoir to be canceled
[NYPOST] Simon & Schuster Red Guards employees want the publisher to stop doing business with Trump administration officials — starting with Vice President Mike Pence.

In a letter Monday to Simon & Schuster’s top executives, more than 200 cadres staffers called on the company to cancel a recently announced memoir by Pence and to also refrain from signing any more book deals with Trump administration officials.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the letter — addressed to Jonathan Karp, Simon & Schuster’s CEO, and Dana Canedy, publisher of its eponymous flagship imprint — demanded the company not treat "the Trump administration as a ’normal’ chapter in American history."

It was signed by 216 insiders and included signatures from more than 3,500 outside supporters, including Jesmyn Ward, a two-time winner of the National Book Award for fiction, according to the report.

The petition also asked Simon & Schuster to cancel its distribution deal with Post Hill Press, a conservative imprint that plans to publish a book by a cop involved in the no-knock raid that killed Breonna Taylor, and which has a number books deals from authors pushing "stolen election" conspiracy theories.

#1 Nobody should be more opposed to censorship than a person working in the publishing business.

Human Resources and Twitterheads.

Apparently they have enough time to goof off; time to get rid of 2/3 positions and replace the remaining with shipping pounders who know what is really going on.

Fk'em.

#5 As the mooks working for K. J. Rowling's publishers learned - staffers are easily replaced.
