THE LABOR OF LIBRARIANSHIP: LESSONS FROM LIBRARY WORKER ORGANIZING

THE LABOR OF LIBRARIANSHIP: LESSONS FROM LIBRARY WORKER ORGANIZING (webinar)

Thursday, September 8, 2022 @7:30pm EST

As with other industries and occupations, unions play an important role in libraries all across the country. Being able to use a collective voice to bring about positive change has empowered library workers to not only improve their wages, hours, and working conditions but to be stronger advocates for defending, improving, and expanding one of the most democratic institutions in the the US – the library. This work has become even more crucial in recent years.

Please join unionized library workers, organizers, activists, and scholars for a discussion of what the future of organized labor in libraries might look like, and what the movement to organize library workers seeks to accomplish.
