Special Membership Meeting

Home

Written by Rich Robinson

Sunday, 23 August 2009

At today's special membership meeting, members overwhelmingly voted down the library's proposed MOU, which would have saved the library about $150,000 during 2009. Members then voted by a larger margin to pre-ratify an alternate proposal which, if accepted by the library will save over half a million dollars** in 2009. Please note: We voted for this proposal, which offers the library concessions over three times as large as what they asked for during 2009. The ball is in their court.

Perhaps the best way to explain the situation is with the e-mail I sent to Mr. Kambitsch, which follows. If your manager asks about what happened, please share this with them. They deserve to know, too. (Managers, if you're reading and want to know more, contact me at my dmlstaff.org e-mail address and I will share the information with you. Or just ask a DMLSA member who works for you....)

**The half a million dollars figure came from handouts the library provided us during negotiations.
