Gary library workers say job cuts will kill union. (Chicago Tribune, 2/28/2012)
Excerpt: Allen said the reorganization will reduce her and other union officials to part-time employees who will be ineligible for a union card. She said her salary will drop to $10,000 from $24,000 and she will have no benefits after 32 years on the job.
Gary library board President Tony Walker said the elimination of union positions is an unfortunate part of a downsizing triggered by statewide property tax caps. The library board voted recently to convert the main library into a museum and keep four neighborhood branches open.
