Geelong librarians fight for better pay
Written by: Duncan B. on 3 July 2021
On Friday July 2nd librarians employed by the Geelong Regional Library Corporation walked off the job in an escalation of a long-running dispute over wages and conditions.
Over 100 staff joined by about another 100 supporters from other unions protested outside the Geelong Regional Library.
They are taking action in support of EBA negotiations that have been going on for over 12 months. A union representative said that Geelong library staff are among the lowest paid in Victoria despite the library being ranked the state’s best. Geelong library staff are seeking parity with the top paying libraries in Victoria.
We wish them well!
