King County Library System Union Members Vote No Confidence in Director

The Seattle Times reports that Union-represented workers in the King County Library System have cast an overwhelming vote of no confidence in the system's longtime director....Bill Ptacek, director, and union leaders are scheduled to meet Thursday to discuss their differences.

"At this point in time, we have no agenda," Ptacek said. "That's part of the point. We're not going to prescribe anything; we're going to find out from their perspective what we need to work on. ... This is a time for us to listen. I think I'm in a listening mode more than anything."
