ABC: Celveland Library workers authorize strike

According to Cleveland's local ABC affiliate, a near unanimous vote by members of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) 1199 authorized a strike if necessary as library workers in Cleveland Public Libraries have been without a contract since January 1st.

Not strike has been called nor a strike notice issued to the library, but the strength of the vote gives SEIU negotiators a much stronger hand at the table as issues of library security remain a sticking point in negotiations.
