The CPLSA stands in solidarity with Somerville Public Library staff speaking out against Mayor Katjana Ballantyne’s decision to fully reinstate a Library employee to his position after years of harassing and verbally abusing co-workers. Harassment and abuse have no place in any workplace and these allegations must be addressed promptly and seriously. Unfortunately, municipal governments are notorious for ignoring such reports and delaying responses, frequently pushing out the survivors of this abuse and thus rewarding the abhorrent behavior. Despite years of reports from staff and patrons alike and the City’s Human Resources Department’s finding that there was “sufficient evidence of violation/s under the City’s Equal Opportunity Policy,” the Mayor reinstated this employee to his position at the West Branch, putting other Library employees and the public back into harm’s way. In a statement that hides behind the confidential nature of personnel matters and blames the union’s protection of its members, Ballantyne’s office attempted to rid themselves of any responsibility or accountability in this situation. This has resulted in the resignation of several Library employees and this trend will doubtlessly continue. The CPLSA condemns Mayor Ballantyne’s actions and calls on her to truly support City and Library employees by demanding an end to harassment and abuse in the workplace. This includes adequate disciplinary action against those perpetrating abuse and protecting employees from further harassment. We call on Mayor Ballantyne to listen to the voices of Library employees and community members when they demand accountability and justice for Library staff.

LIBRARY WORKERS WIN IN CAMBRIDGE: BOSTON DSA CONGRATULATES CAMBRIDGE PUBLIC LIBRARY STAFF ASSOCIATION ON CONTRACT VICTORY Boston DSA congratulates our friends and neighbors in the Cambridge Public Library Staff Association on their hard-fought contract victory. After over a year of struggling for their rights, the CPLSA won a contract that achieved all of their primary goals. 97% of CPLSA members have voted to approve the new contract, which includes a functional wage increase of nearly 5%, new health and safety protections with worker input, democratization of workplace standards, and fairer staffing practices. Boston DSA was proud to stand with the CPLSA in their struggles for a fair and democratic workplace. DSA members joined CPLSA standouts, bringing snacks, coffee, and energy to show our library staff their community was behind them. Working Mass, a DSA publication, chronicled CPLSA’s ongoing efforts last fall. We are glad to see city leadership finally show some recognition of what has been clear since this fight began—our library staff, and all workers, deserve fair wages and democratically-determined safe work conditions. CPLSA’s victory is yet another reminder of the power of an organized and militant working class. By standing unified in their demands and holding regular demonstrations against their employer’s practices, they were able to achieve meaningful wins against an intransigent city government with an unelected City Manager controlling the purse strings. Boston DSA members will continue these struggles in our own unions and stand ready to support our neighbors who, like CPLSA, are ready to demand a better, more democratic workplace.
