Columbia, MO – After more than a year of negotiations, workers at Daniel Boone Regional Library (DBRL) in Columbia reached a tentative agreement with management on a three-year contract. The contract creates a new wage scale, guarantees five percent annual raises, lowers health insurance costs and implements extreme heat protections for workers, and other gains.
“Our full membership has been so supportive,” said Ida Fogle, a member of the Daniel Boone Regional Library (DBRL) Workers United executive board and a member of the bargaining team. “It really was everyone pulling together, and the community, too — the community showed up for us. There’s definitely been a lot of tension, a lot of frustrating times, but it’s also been great to learn about the power of solidarity and collective action.” – Missouri AFL-CIO photo
