Some library workers in New Jersey are represented by labor unions. Which libraries do they work at, and which unions represent them? What are the benefits and costs of joining a union, or starting one? What can and can’t unions do? How long does it take to negotiate and enact a contract? What do workers pay in dues? Representatives of several unions at libraries in New Jersey will speak about these issues.
