A labour dispute between Mississauga and its library workers could close the city's 18 branches Monday after negotiations broke down before the midnight strike deadline. No fines during strike"We are very proud of the quality services we provide to the community," the release from the union local says. The union that represents the library workers rejected the city's latest offer Saturday, with 96 per cent of those who attended the strike vote choosing that option instead, according to a release from CUPE Local 1989 Sunday night. But the Local noted those raises fell below the increased cost of living; last year, inflation was pegged at two per cent, according to Statistics Canada. While the physical branches will be closed during the strike, patrons can still check out ebooks, music and online magazines through the online library portal.
