Library Workers

Union software that works across every branch and classification.

Union Software is designed around the structures, branches, and representation requirements of library locals.

Library unions represent members across branches, central services and classifications, including part-time and evening work. Union Software helps officers, representatives and stewards maintain one connected view of members and representation across the system.

Understand the Environment

Library bargaining units can include librarians, library technicians, clerks, pages, IT staff, programmers, caretakers and other public-service and technical classifications.

Members may be distributed across branches, bookmobiles, central services and administrative offices, with evening and weekend coverage in many locations.

Hours of work, additional hours, classification, scheduling and workplace safety issues can generate significant representation activity across branches that do not share one staffing pattern.

Scenario

  1. The local is heading into bargaining and needs pages, technicians and branch staff to name their priorities.

  2. A short survey goes out through Communications, tied to each member’s branch and classification in People.

  3. Results land in Bargaining as ranked priorities instead of a pile of emailed replies.

  4. Officers share a summary back to members and keep the same lists for ratification materials later.
