Blake writes News From Ontario where

London libraries could be facing their first labour dispute in more than 30 years. Staff at the city’s public libraries gave strong support for a strike this week, voting 90 per cent in favour of walking off the job.

Valerie Chapman, president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees’ Local 217, which represents more than 200 employees at the public libraries, said 112 of the 217 members turned out to cast a ballot in a strike vote Monday.

Chapman said she was pleased with both the turnout and the result.”
