A Salt Lake City board has yet to vote on whether to recognize an attempt by more than 200 library workers to unionize three months after their initial request.
SALT LAKE CITY — While admitting her nerves, Michelle Cao stood stoically as she read from a paper clasped in her hands.
Cao and her colleagues attended the board meeting to push its members to voluntarily accept the city librarians' efforts to unionize, Asay called on the board to recognize the union again on Monday, which didn't happen. The meeting ended with a closed session to allow the board to discuss collective bargaining further.
The librarians' goal to unionize would mirror most Salt Lake City employees. About two-thirds of the city's 3,200 full-time employees are represented by three unions, including the American Federation of State, City and Municipal Employees, per city officials. The library system is the city's only department where employees are not under a collective bargaining agreement.
