UNION!
The staff of the Lakewood Public Library are currently in the process of forming a union with SEIU 1199! All other public employees of Lakewood have the rights and benefits that come with being a part of a union, so why not us? We are rallying the public to support us as we await our opportunity to vote YES on forming a union. This website was created to inform the public on ways to support our cause.
Upcoming Dates
Support the staff of the Lakewood Public Library by attending an upcoming board meeting! Let the LPL board of trustees know that you support our unionization efforts by making public comment, or just by showing up!
