Chronicle: Elyria Library and union reach contract agreement

 The Chronicle-Telegram reports that the Elyria Library has reached a contract agreement with its union, the Office and Professional Employees International Union Local 17, after several COVID-19 delays.

The new contract, which includes a 1% pay increase replaces a contract which expired in April 2020. Employees will, however, also be moving to a 37.5 hour work week, down from 40 in the previous contract. A one time payment was also agreed to to make up for the gap between contracts.

The Library board also passed the same increase for non-union employees as well.
