We are holding a rally because we want the Library Board of Trustees to know we want to negotiate a contract that provides equality and fairness to both full-time and part-time staff.

Library employees feel the Library Board of Trustees currently treats our part-time staff, which represents over 75% of the overall staff, differently than full-time staff doing the same work, and we feel part-timers are being discriminated against simply because they work fewer hours. When working side-by-side, a part time employee does the same exact work as a full-time employee in their respective titles.

All we want is for every employee to be treated equitably.
