The NPLE needs your help! We need local folks to make their voices heard, to help us win our fight for a fair contract. We're at day 78 now, and have entered mediation, but we cannot win without you!

A press release from the Nashua Public Library Employees union, AFT Local 4831, which reads:

For Immediate Release
July 1, 2026
For more information contact NPLE Co-President, Mary Ellen Gilson at maryellen.gilson@nplunion.org

Nashua, NH - The Nashua Public Library Employees, AFT, FPE, LOCAL #4831, as of today, July 1st, are working without a new contract in place due to failed negotiations with the Nashua Public Library Board of Trustees.
The NPLE declared impasse on June 23rd after numerous negotiating sessions with management. The significant areas of disagreement revolve not only around wages but also job security and working conditions as the public library is set to undergo major renovations over the next eighteen (18) months or more.
NPLE Co-President Mary Ellen Gilson expressed the following on behalf of members, “The library is not just a building but it is brought alive by the small but able staff that develop and deliver exciting programming and excellent service to the citizens of Nashua. Any renovation plans need to respect staff in the renovation process and make certain that the transition and continuity of services is adequately supported by the valuable and experienced existing staff.”
The parties have jointly filed a request for the appointment of a contract mediator through the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services.
