Unions Asks to Save 10 Illinois Library Jobs
By Erik Even | Dated: 07-25-2009
Union reps are asking Springfield, Illinois aldermen, who have already voted to save police and fire jobs, to consider sparing 10 library employees from layoffs.According to the current budget, nine union employees and one non-union library worker will be laid off in August.
The city has told nine union employees and one non-union library worker that their last day at the library will be Aug. 6.
Library workers say the remaining staff members will be unable to perform basic services for the public.
The city needs to close a $7 million budget shortfall. The library layoffs would save $602,000. Union members have already agreed to unpaid furloughs.
