Nominations will be held at the November 1st General Membership Meeting for the eboard positions that are up for election. All eight At-Large positions are annual and are up for election. The additional positions that are up for election are Vice President (2 year term), Secretary (2 year term), and Trustee (3 year term). 

Check out the descriptions of each position here http://kclsvoice.org/participation-opportunities

I encourage anyone who is interested to reach out and ask the existing eboard members questions. This is the way to become more involved in management of our union. Participation is what makes our union strong!

If you want to have your name be nominated for a position, you can email Jennifer (jenniferaudio@gmail.com) or Victoria (local1857president@gmail.com), or attend the meeting and indicate your interest there. 

Leave Bank Form can be found here: https://kclsvoice.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Union-Leave-Bank-transfer-form-2024.pdf
We are now accepting donations to the Union Donated Leave Bank for the remainder of October. A new copy of the form is available on the website. It’s mostly the same, but there is now an option for emailing the form! Physical mail is also still allowed.The leave bank is a pool of donated vacation hours that can be used by Union officials, Shop Stewards, and other authorized members to attend disciplinary meetings, meet with library officials on Union business, and to prepare for and attend contract negotiations. The leave bank is open for donations in April and October of every year per our contract.

Have you been to the breakroom lately? Treat boxes from your union are showing up across the system, in celebration of International Workers’ Day!

May 1 marks May Day, or International Workers’ Day. Following on the heels of last month’s celebration of National Library Workers Day, your Union is proud to observe the day with treats that will soon arrive via totes from Preston. Thanks to all of you for your year-round hard work!

Moving? After you’ve changed your address in Dayforce and Evergreen, let your Union know, too! All you have to do is email your new information to c2everett@council2.com and tell them that you’re in Local 1857!
