Reposting for visibility to #LibraryLabor. Thank you in advance ❤️📚
Library workers: what has your board/leadership communicated to you about interactions about ICE? What do you wish you knew or had clarified? What policies or statements would make your job easier or at least remove ambiguity?

I posted this mini thread in response to another thread, but I think it’s important enough that it should be its own post (the original thread makes a lot of great points. So read it, too!)

Thank you for this. I’ve seen a lot of “this is a great time to get a library card” posts this week and while I appreciate the sentiment, getting a library card is not going to keep your library safe or funded. The time for passive support is long over.

I've been maintaining some form of library labor–related account or feed since 2019 across Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky, but the cost of the service I use to create the current #LibraryLabor feed (bsky.app/profile/orga...) is increasing, so I will probably sunset it at the end of April.

Working for Amazon for one terrible year helped radicalize me. One year after quitting Amazon for a unionized #library job I became a shop steward. After a year I joined my union’s executive board. Two years later I was union president.

Amazon workers in Quebec unionized last year.
This week, Amazon closed its warehouse operations in Quebec.
Amazon denied the closures were related to unionization, but it has a track record of crushing unions in America.
Union busting is disgusting — and a global problem.

Amazon Closes Operations in Quebec, Laying off 1,700 Workers
Unions had gained a foothold in one of the company’s warehouses in the province, though Amazon would not say if there was a connection.
