"Over the past year, group members have researched union creation and worked to get signed cards in support from at least 50% of [Dartmouth] library workers[.] [T]he efforts of library workers to unionize at MIT and Northwestern University in 2019 and 2021, respectively, contributed to their 'nerdy approach'—involving significant research—to the process of calling for a union."

Despite the crucial role we play in supporting education and research at Dartmouth, we remain understaffed and under-compensated. In the last few years alone, we have dealt with wage compression, library closures, and the removal of any systematized professional advancement structure...we have assessed our options and come to the...conclusion...that a union is our best option for a better workplace.
