Over 70 workers are employed in Thunder Bay’s public library and represented by CUPE 3120 and CUPE 87-18. Their collective agreement expired a year ago. While the workers have been attempting to negotiate a new contract, management has been pushing a raft of concessions.

The union faces a strike deadline of 12:01 am on Friday, October 16. If a deal can’t be reached by then, pickets will go up at all four library branches in Thunder Bay—which means a strike could be underway during municipal elections on October 26.

Speakers will address the negative impact on library services of management’s attack on working conditions at the library. In particular, the union will also sound the alarm about the impending year-long closure for renovations of the Library’s Waverley branch, with no confirmed plans by management to continue providing service or running programs in an alternate location.
