Head Tale

CUPE 1594, which represents the in-scope workers at RPL, launched an advocacy campaign today.

Entitled “Check Us Out” with a slogan of “What’s 21 Months Overdue at Regina Public Library?”, its purpose is to draw attention to the fact that union members at RPL have been working without a contract for nearly two years.

You can browse the site to learn about some current bargaining issues as well as read comments from current and former staff as well as patrons and other supporters.

If you are so inclined, please feel free to add your own comment to the “Patrons & Other Supporters” page.  As with similar campaigns for Calgary Public Library and Toronto Public Library, I think it’s nice for people involved to know they have support, not only within Regina but from across the country.
