We’re RED-y to win our members a fair contract! Show your support tomorrow by wearing something RED! #bplpsa #bostonpubliclibrary #library #union #unionstrong #libraryunion #boston

These past 33 days have shown us more than ever how important it is to know that your work is valued and protected. As we head into our sixth bargaining session tomorrow, we hope the City and BPL management will be on the same page as us. #library #union #libraryunion #boston

The UAW officially has tentative agreements with all of the Big Three automakers and they include some some huge wins. Now, the deals make their way to the membership for ratification votes. I dug into the details here.

Our members have been working for over three weeks under an expired contact. They show up and give their best to the Boston community every day, without the promise of raises, better benefits, and more. When you see a PSA member, thank them for remaining committed to their role! #library #union

After a disappointing bargaining session last Friday, our countdown goes on. Eighteen days of PSA membership working under an expired contract when what they deserve is a fair, updated contract that meets their needs. #bostonpubliclibrary #library #union

Here’s hoping we can make 13 our lucky number today as we head back to the bargaining table with the City and library management. Our members deserve a fair contract and we are working hard to deliver it for them! #bostonpubliclibrary #library #union #unionstrong #libraryunion

We're 11 days overdue on our contract, which could have been avoided if the City had scheduled with us when we requested to bargain 5 months ago! We hope the City of Boston and BPL management come ready to get a fair contract for members at our bargaining session this Friday. #library #union #boston
