Congrats Fellow Librarian Joan Cassidy
From AFL-CIO website:
Joan Cassidy, librarian, New York State United Teachers, Latham, N.Y., was honored as the 2006 recipient of the John Sessions Memorial Award presented by the Reference and User Services Association (RUSA), a division of ALA, for her work in creating the Albert Shanker, “Where We Stand” database, an on-line archive of more than 1,300 New York Times columns by Albert Shaker, president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) from 1974-1977. The award is named in honor of John Sessions, former AFL-CIO Education Director and co-chair of the AFL-CIO/ALA Joint Committee on Library Services to Labor Groups.
The annual conference included ALA-APA sessions on affordable health care options, pay equity advocacy training, strategies for collective bargaining and the benefits of managing a library with a union.
Joan is one of my SLA Labor Librarians caucus colleagues. She's a hard worker!
