Today, Executive Director Tim Kambitsch and I are releasing a joint memo to Library staff. The memo is available by clicking on the icon below.
The memo describes efforts the Union and the Library are making to ensure the Library remains solvent in very difficult budgetary times. As you read the memo, please note that the memo simply says that we are discussing possible solutions with the Library. Because the budget is not yet set, no final decisions have been made.
The memo does discuss possible remedies to the mitigate budget shortfalls. The only thing we've agreed to at this juncture is to discuss the possibility of these mitigating techniques. There is no fait accompli. We will resume negotiations with the Library next week with three objectives in mind:
Keep the financially Library solvent, while
Saving as many jobs as possible, and while
Ensuring retained jobs are sufficient to support union members
