Labor Updates (9/13/07)

Library of Congress management is up to its unionbusting tactics again. Now the target is the confidentiality and privacy rights of employees seeking assistance from their union, reports the Library of Congress Professional Guild, AFSCME Local 2910, which represents the workers. After a major arbitration victory for workers in July, LOC management is now trying to get around the arbitration ruling and is demanding that the union maintain records identifying workers who seek union assistance.
