In Memphis, library workers are categorized as mayoral appointees, not as public servants - this means they can be fired for no reason and their jobs can be used as political favors. Our chapter had more than 40 people turn out last night in support of Memphis library workers as they advocated for City Council and Mayor Paul Young to change this unjust and inaccurate categorization status.
Now these workers need our support - will you lend your name and help call for the end to this outdated practice so we can correctly classify library workers as civil service employees?
