Sno-Isle workers cite safety, unfilled positions in union push

MARYSVILLE — Sno-Isle Libraries staff members filled the library’s board meeting on Tuesday to notify leadership they have filed for union recognition.

The meeting in the library administrative office was so full that a handful of the attendees, some wearing green “100% Union Strong” T-shirts, spilled into an overflow room to watch on a screen. Around 26 people attended on Zoom.

Attendees were in good spirits, talking and laughing together before the meeting began. About 10 people spoke during public comment to express support for the union.

Workers announced their plan to form Sno-Isle Libraries Employees United on May 19. They intend to join AFSCME Council 2.
