Precarious workers video from Toronto Public Library

Watch this “…informative and emotional short film (19 minutes)…”  posted on the Our Public Library website sponsored by the Toronto Public Library Workers Union:

 

 

“City Council’s neglect of Our Public Library regrettably extends to the people who work there. Precarious Work at the Toronto Public Library: Toronto’s Challenge reveals both the dedication to public service and the struggle to make ends meet by the 50 per cent of TPL workers who work in jobs that are part-time, insecure and without the normal benefits, including pensions, of most other City workers.”     – excerpt from Our Public Library website

Note from the Executive

On November 28th the Annual General meeting of CUPE Local 410 was held and elections conducted for all Executive Board and Steward/Committee positions.  On behalf of the Executive I would first like to acknowledge and thank the outgoing Stewards for their work on behalf of the members.  Secondly I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new Stewards and offer our thanks for their willingness to take on this new role.  Finally, I must  express our deep appreciation for the support you have shown in re-electing all of us to the Executive Board.  There is much work for us to do, but your confidence in us inspires us to keep pushing forward and make this Local better and stronger than ever.

thank you all,

Helen, Fatima, Vicki, Carla, Melissa W, Max
