Toronto Public Library workers settle. Great work by our CUPE 4948 members. For the most part, they achieved a fair and equitable contract. President Maureen O’Reilly says they kept most of the concessions that were in the Employers proposals. Unfortunately the part time workers are in a vulnerable position with job security for the first fifteen years of their employment. What this strike did do was give the library workers a much better contract than the inside and outside workers who settled without a strike and gave concessions. The publicity of the the status of part time workers struck a chord with the people of the City of Toronto. There is now recognition and sympathy for the plight of the part time worker. Sound familiar?
