Libraries are essential infrastructure in our communities, providing information, entertainment, and public services. In order to meet the needs of our patrons and to set standards that allow us to recruit and retain highly skilled staff, librarians and library workers need a voice. We also need and deserve fair treatment and job security. That’s why library workers in Ohio — across multiple library systems — are coming together to build their unions and have a voice at work. Here’s a look at what we’ve accomplished so far.

Delaware County United Library Staff Ratify First Contract | Ohio Federation of Teachers, AFT, AFL-CIO
DELAWARE, OHIO — Librarians and other workers at Delaware County District Library (DCDL) have finalized their first union contract following ratification votes by union members and the DCDL Board of Trustees. Members of the union, Delaware County United Library Staff (DCULS), voted overwhelmingly in favor of ratification last week and the DCDL Board voted in favor of the agreement at their meeting on March 17. The contract makes huge gains on the issues that motivated library staff to form their union, including extending benefits to part-time employees and providing competitive wages and longevity bonuses to attract and retain staff.

Tell Columbus Metropolitan Library that you support library workers!
Tell Columbus Metropolitan Library that you support library workers!
Librarians and library workers at Columbus Metropolitan Library are coming together to form our union because we love our libraries and we are dedicated to serving our community. We deserve a voice in the policies that affect us, and we will use that collective voice to make our library system stronger, more accessible, and more equitable. Stand with us and tell our CEO and Board of Trustees to remain neutral, not try to delay our union election, and not waste any library resources or funds opposing the formation of our union.

Commentary: While the loss of federal funding that could come from refusing the Trump administration's "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education" would threaten Miami University's ability to perform its vital education and research work, agreeing to this compact would not forestall that outcome.
