There's our COLA! We have a written agreement. Now all that's left between PWU members & our COLAs is approval by the Board of Estimates. Thanks to our members, AFCSME Council 3, Pratt leadership, the Labor Commissioner, & everyone else who helped to make this happen!

@gwugwunited Congrats! 🎉 🎆 🎇

[Pratt Workers United @PrattWorkers]

We'll keep you updated.
(It's our fourth session with the administration actually.)

[Pratt Workers United @PrattWorkers]

Pratt Workers United just had our first bargaining session! The bargaining team is proud of the initial proposals we presented, which give voice to our needs and promote the dignity and well-being of library workers.

On Wednesday, members of Pratt Workers United and Friends of Pratt Library testified against budget cuts to @prattlibrary. #libraryworkers #InvestInLibraries

[Pratt Workers United @PrattWorkers]

Don't forget to make it clear that you are attending, writing, or calling on behalf of Pratt Workers United.

The Enoch Pratt Free Library is facing budget cuts. Tonight at 6pm is Taxpayers Night at City Hall where residents can voice opposition to these cuts. You can sign up to speak (in person or online) or submit written testimony :

You can also call 410-396-7073 or your council members. We're about to negotiate our first contract—budget cuts could stop us from winning higher pay and better working conditions, and improving the services that Pratt workers can provide to Baltimore.

PWU members showed up for our T-shirt & button day last week! Our power is in our numbers! #solidarity #unionstrong #atthepratt #workerpower

[Pratt Workers United @PrattWorkers]

We are still glowing from our OVERWHELMING union victory 🥳 We love @prattlibrary and are excited to begin the process of negotiating a better workplace for our co-workers and our communities. Let's do this! #PrattWorkersUnited

Incredible news: workers across Baltimore's Enoch Pratt Free Library system won their union vote in a landslide! Watch my @TheRealNews interview from Sept w/ @PrattWorkers worker organizers Marti Dirscheri & Antoinette Wilson  about their vital struggle:

"As public library workers, we are purveyors of free education, literacy, shelter, and access to information, and we need to have a say in how we provide these necessary and over-commodified resources," said Hirsch. #PrattWorkersUnited https://t.co/3Fg7MQXVEg

The moment you learn you won your union by a LANDSLIDE! 218-12!! #PrattWorkersUnited 🥳🥳🥳
