Salt Lake City library workers are one step closer to being the first in the state to unionize following a resolution that library leaders approved last week.
SALT LAKE CITY — Employees of the Salt Lake City Public Library System say they are "very excited" about the direction unionization efforts are going after the agency's board of directors voted last week to approve a resolution pledging to work with the union toward a collective bargaining agreement.
The resolution recognizes that some library employees are seeking to affiliate with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. It also states that the board is "committed to continuing dialogue" with the union over the matter and that the board will work toward a formal collective bargaining agreement."I am very excited by the library board's resolution," said Bryce Hays, a city library employee, in a statement Tuesday.
About two-thirds of Salt Lake City's 3,200 full-time employees are represented by three unions, including the American Federation of State, City and Municipal Employees. Library workers represent the largest department of city employees who aren't under a collective bargaining agreement.
