LOC Worker Campaign "Still in Full Swing"

Friday, June 1, 2007

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)The campaign to stop unionbusting tactics at the Library of Congress (LOC) is “still in full swing,” reports the LOC Professional Guild, AFSCME 2910. Over 700 people have sent emails, letters and faxes to LOC officials stating “employees who participate in labor organizations, or who - as officers and stewards - assist their colleagues in the workplace, should have the right to do so without fear of penalty or reprisal,” says AFSCME 2910. The campaign began in earlier this year after library management tried to put union representatives on Leave Without Pay until they provide confidential information about representational activities. On March 22, the House appropriations committee grilled LOC Chief Operating Officer Jo Ann Jenkins about union harassment. The union is currently awaiting an arbitration decision.
