<div>Currently, I am gathering comparison data for use in strategic planning for the Manistee County Library. They have unionized staff and wanted to include in the comparisons some similarly-sized libraries that also have unionized staff. I am not sure we will find correlations, but having this data will come in handy to others as well. The Library of Michigan is not collecting it right now, but if it is a simple yes/no, they may decide to add it to the data collection in the future.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Sheryl, Can I ask why you are putting together this report? Did a member library ask you to compile information on libraries with unionized staff? Maybe I missed that information somewhere along the way, and I'm just curious.

<div>Thanks.</div>

<div>Hello All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am making a report in Counting Opinions of libraries that have unionized staff. The reports are made by selecting libraries, so I selected those that wrote back to me letting me know they have unionized staff and then made a report with other data from the annual report, but the list of libraries is the key data - those in the chart responded to me that they have unionized staff of one type or another. I am not getting more specific than that at this point, but wanted to share what I have so far with you all. I did hear from a number of libraries that are NOT unionized, but chose to list the ones that respond that they DO have unionized staff. Here is the link: <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.countingopinions.com/pireports/report.php?4ea59397dcd07f45fc4ba97bdfbfb60a" target="_blank">http://www.countingopinions.com/pireports/report.php?4ea59397dcd07f45fc4ba97bdfbfb60a</a></span></div>
<div>If you have unionized staff and do not see your library listed, please let me know and I will add it.</div>
