Tricia Martone

I support unions because I believe it is the best way to ensure a fair, equitable, and transparent

Stephen Krueger

In general, I think unions should be the default for all workplaces.

Tara Custer

A union will enable my colleagues and I to come together as a collective voice to push for reducing disparities. We all deserve equal opportunities in the workplace.

Tim Wolfe

I support a union so library staff can have more of a say in the decisions that affect us, our work, and our spaces. I understand the need to balance many considerations, but it never feels good when we are the last ones to know when a big decision gets made.

Lindsay Olson

I support unionization because I support protection and advocacy for all my colleagues, and all library
workers. I want to work somewhere that's willing to send the message that the vital work of everyone
across this profession cannot continue to be undervalued and underpaid. Forming bargaining units holds
institutions accountable to their commitment to investing in their employees' wellbeing by ensuring
everyone is compensated fairly, and that those wages remain in step with continually rising rates of
inflation and costs of living.
