Wicomico library employees celebrating a win!

We are delighted to share that the employees of the Wicomico Public Libraries have won their fight for recognition with MCEA. WPL staff make up our newest Council, Council 3318 (the Dewey Decimal number for labor unions).

The work that library employees do every day in our library systems is absolutely essential to our communities here in Maryland. From providing necessary services, promoting literacy, and fostering safety and community, library staff are on the frontlines when it comes to ensuring that Maryland residents can grow and learn. We are proud to organize with Wicomico public library staff and move toward sorely needed improvements in wages, benefits, and working conditions.

Happy Autumn!

MCEA has been working tirelessly to move our local forward. During the last few months, MCEA members have reactivated one council. We have won recognition and subsequently inducted two more councils, and we are organizing 3 more councils soon to be in our local! It is very rewarding to see that our local is moving to greater heights. Let’s keep this momentum going. This could not have been accomplished without your involvement, so
please keep showing up and working with your union.
