Daniel Boone Regional Library workers vote on unionization
by MARGARET STAFFORD
Visitors enter the Daniel Boone Regional Library on Tuesday, May 17, 2022, in Columbia, Mo. Workers at the public library system based in Columbia are voting this week on whether to become the only active public librarians union in the state. If employees at the Daniel Boone Regional Library, which has branches in Columbia, Fulton, Ashland, and Holts Summit, ratify the union, they would join a growing movement toward unionization across the country, sparked in part by the coronavirus pandemic.
