Author(s): Phillips, Margaret; Eifler, David; Page, Tiffany Linton | Abstract: This article explores how librarians and lecturers at the University of California, Berkeley, worked together to make their union more participatory in a context of increasing corporatization in public higher education. Written as a case study, we examine this ongoing revitalization process initiated by lecturers in the summer of 2016 and how it transformed librarian activism and bargaining strategy. For context, we also examine the history and unique nature of the University Council–American Federation of Teachers, the union representing both librarians and lecturers. We discuss why librarians had become ambivalent about their union and how an active group of librarians changed the culture in the organization and worked to bring members' voices into the 2018/2019 librarian contract negotiations. Engaging membership and encouraging participation required a group of committed organizers, with the support of paid union staff, to actively seek feedback from members, to communicate regularly, and to organize solidarity events. Throughout this process, the local worked to build coalitions with other campus unions, and members became increasingly aware of the important role unions play in protecting and advancing the mission of a public university and as a site for social justice activism.

作者：菲利普斯，玛格丽特；大卫·埃弗勒 Page，蒂芙尼·林顿（Tiffany Linton）| 摘要：本文探讨了加州大学伯克利分校的图书馆员和讲师如何共同努力，以在公立高等教育公司化的背景下，使他们的工会更具参与性。作为案例研究，我们研究了讲师在2016年夏季发起的这一持续的振兴过程，以及它如何改变了图书馆员的行动主义和讨价还价策略。就上下文而言，我们还研究了大学理事会-美国教师联合会的历史和独特性质，该联合会代表图书馆员和讲师。我们讨论了为什么图书馆员对其工会变得昧不明，以及一群积极的图书馆员如何改变组织的文化并努力使成员 参与2018/2019图书馆员合同谈判。要使会员成为会员并鼓励参与，就需要一群忠诚的组织者，在有薪工会工作人员的支持下，积极寻求成员的反馈，定期进行沟通并组织团结活动。在整个过程中，当地人努力与其他校园工会建立联盟，成员越来越意识到工会在保护和推进公立大学的使命以及作为社会正义运动的场所方面发挥着重要作用。
