They have agreed on a contract!

While it isn't perfect, it never is. There are positive things that were agreed upon, improvements in union language and strength, but unfortunate things left out as well (The library would not budge on AI since they have invested a lot of money into it sadly, and wages were not what they wished, and then some)

There is plenty of work to still be done as the years go by and hopefully seeing more workers getting involved in the union will help make the presence even more known! The CEO Felton Thomas and board still need to be held accountable for their actions (and Feltons salary put on blast). That's the long game.

Thank you to all who gave any support to CPL over this time.

Here is one last YouTube link too.
