Tentative Deal for Toronto Public Library Workers

Toronto Public Library Workers Union (CUPE Local 4948) has reached a tentative agreement with the library administration on a new four-year contract. The union engaged in a number of activities over the past few weeks to raise awareness and community support, including a public opinion poll and a Teddy Bears Picket. One of the biggest issues for the union was the precarious nature of work in the library system. Details of the contract are not currently available.
