Unions just gained more power in Denver. Librarians want to lead the way
Lauren Seegmiller, a longtime Denver Public Library employee, is a member of Denver Public Library Workers United. The union isn’t formally recognized by the city and hasn’t held a union election, but members see a new opportunity after the November vote.
The union initially formed to create a “culture of care and solidarity” among library workers, according to Seegmiller. While union members pushed for change, it was hard to gain momentum without collective bargaining rights.
“As a union, what we could do was limited,” she said.
