Hello.  My name is Rich Robinson and I'm president of the Dayton Metro Library Staff Association. It is in that role that I address you today.

In today's Dayton Daily News, Lynn Hulsey ran an article that contained the following line: "Library patrons are likely to continue to see fewer employees working as the Dayton library uses furloughs to reduce costs."

Hello, Library Board Members-

I would like to begin with the recognition that it is unorthodox for me to e-mail you directly. There have been many times when I was tempted to do so, but have refrained in deference to maintaining traditionally-used communications channels. I will not consider this e-mail as precedent setting; I will, for the foreseeable future, continue to consider direct contact with the board to be generally off-limits. That said, in this instance, I am breaking the taboo because I am responding directly to a request from Mr. Turner for union input for the board retreat.

Her description caused some concern on our part, as it seems likely that the library's proposed implementation would represent a change in the terms of employment for bargaining unit members.
