LEO-GLAM: Achievement Unlocked! Card Check Edition
IT’S OFFICIAL! LIBRARIANS, ARCHIVISTS AND CURATORS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN HAVE A UNION!
LACs will join LEO as a separate bargaining unit known as LEO-GLAM.
But before we talk about what comes next for librarians, archivists, and curators, let’s take a moment to review how we got here, and then talk about what comes next.
Member Perspectives: LEO-GLAM, “There is strength in the union”
On June 3, 2021, librarians, archivists, and curators (LACs) held their first membership meeting as “LEO-GLAM.”
GLAM stands for “galleries, libraries, archives, and museums,” and it’s a commonly used shorthand for the kinds of environments our information professional and cultural heritage colleagues work in here at the University of Michigan.
At this meeting, Colleen Marquis [they/them]—an archivist on the Flint campus—delivered powerful opening remarks summarizing how LEO-GLAM came to be. We are excited to share their words with you, and we hope you find this vision inspiring.
