LISNews: Librarian Blog Since 1999

A six-week lockout of library workers in Victoria is over after the two sides solved the contentious issue of pay equity. Unionized library workers will receive an annual 2-per-cent increase for the next four years to bring them up to par with other library workers in the province. They'll also receive a 3-per-cent general wage increase, giving them what amounts to a 20-per cent raise over four years.
Now, with this deal signed, both sides have agreed that the issue has been dealt with once and for all.
