Pratt Workers United just had our first bargaining session! The bargaining team is proud of the initial proposals we presented, which give voice to our needs and promote the dignity and well-being of library workers. #UnionStrong #solidarity

You can also call 410-396-7073 or your council members. We're about to negotiate our first contract—budget cuts could stop us from winning higher pay and better working conditions, and improving the services that Pratt workers can provide to Baltimore.

Incredible news: workers across Baltimore's Enoch Pratt Free Library system won their union vote in a landslide! Watch my @TheRealNews interview from Sept w/ @PrattWorkers worker organizers Marti Dirscheri & Antoinette Wilson  about their vital struggle: therealnews.com/baltimores-e…

"As public library workers, we are purveyors of free education, literacy, shelter, and access to information, and we need to have a say in how we provide these necessary and over-commodified resources," said Hirsch. #PrattWorkersUnited wmar2news.com/news/local-new…
