Denver Public Library Workers United

 



DPLWU is part of Communication Workers of America 7799


In December 2020, employees began organizing after a "spontaneous conversation between a handful of folks" that focused on "managing mental health while working during the pandemic," according to Amelia Eckles, who works as a Park Hill Branch Library clerk and is a member of the union.

Aside from wanting stronger protections from potential dismissal, union members would also like to see more diversity in new hirings and have all staffers paid a "living wage." First and foremost, however, the union wants the Denver Public Library to recognize it as a union.
