CUPE 2669, the union representing Saskatoon public library workers, are announcing they have issued a strike notice to the employer. They have given the employer five days to get back to the bargaining table with a deal offering wages that keep up with the rising cost-of-living and properly address mounting safety concerns in Saskatoon libraries.
“Library staff and patrons deserve changes that make them feel safe at the library. We’re fighting to have more than one library worker at each service point so we can help serve patrons while staying safe,” said Paige Yellowlees, communications coordinator for CUPE 2669. “It’s disappointing that the employer is refusing to offer fair wages or make this change that would increase the safety and quality of service for both library workers and patrons alike. We deserve better.”
CUPE 2669 represents approximately 270 public library workers at nine Saskatoon public library locations.
