What Does It Mean To Crave Popcorn

The Duties of a political representation of Antiquarian Booksellers

From 2010-10-13



first
Porto Commission, especially for group accounts

- agreement on a new book shipment form (insured up to 50 €, self-check by computer, weighing up to 2 kg)

- Collective terms of a unit board for 1-3 books, cross-rotation system and a standard folding stack (largest + smallest edge along 50 cm)

- to conclude a collective agreement related to packaging waste disposal fee (most colleagues are currently paying 50-100 euros a year too much)

- delivery to Switzerland and Austria and from there to Germany at a reduced postage rate, thus breaking the unspeakable Porto graft for packages to Switzerland, similar to the wheeling and dealing ruthlessly on post for transit to Germany. With these agreements, we commit ourselves to our colleagues in Switzerland and Austria more than we suspect.

How can you organize something? My suggestion:

All Commission members are by weight ä selected. Entitled to vote are those booksellers, whether full-or part-time who can present an official business license in her name or who are employed full-time or part time in a bookseller (personal, not corporate voting rights).

In computer age, the preliminary discussion and the choice made by electronic means, which implies that anyone can imagine colleagues on the Net (Image, text, background, beliefs, to the profession). The implementation of the individual must of course be discussed.
