The United Steelworkers Union has scheduled a meeting in order to start organizing Carnegie Library employees. Workers' primary concerns include higher wages, fair salary raises, and increased benefits. The union believes that one of the challenges in this particular organization, will be securing a voice for employees in the library’s decision-making process. In the 1970s, a union attempted to organize library employees and failed. However, there is now a model for unionizing libraries to follow which makes employees and the union appear more hopeful.
