What are your hopes for the new Unit 17 Librarians' contract?

I-Wei Wang, Reference Librarian, UC Berkeley Law Library

“Meaningful recognition of the academic and professional status of librarians, including recognition of the role of librarians in advancing the research, teaching, equity, diversity, and inclusion goals and missions of the university.”

Kristen LaBonte, Research and Instruction Librarian, UC Santa Barbara

"I hope to see improved contract language relating to investigatory leave, medical leave, workload, and uniform language for review actions. I also hope to see adjustments in our salary scale to ensure successful recruitment and retention of excellent librarians.”
