A grievance is a formal complaint that the union makes against the employer when we believe that there has been a contract violation. Grievances can be filed on behalf of one member, two members, or the union as a whole depending on the situation.

Grievances are a tool by which the union is able to hold the Library and City accountable for their actions (or inaction). While filing a grievance can sound intimidating, it's a very straightforward process that typically leads to good outcomes for the union and our member.

Union members can only be disciplined or discharged from service for just cause.

"Just cause" is a legal standard the employer must meet before being able to discipline or terminate an employee. Any disciplinary steps taken by the employer are also subject to the grievance process outlined in our contract, which helps us protect our members from unfair or overly punitive disciplinary action.

Meet Rebeca! After being inspired by her old boss to pursue a degree in Library Sciences, Rebeca joined us here at the BPL. While assisting a sushi chef may not be the right job for Rebeca, we've loved having her here as part of youth services team and as part of our union.

PSA members can learn more about Rebeca in this month's newsletter! Want to be featured in our Member Spotlight? Email [email protected].
