The labour dispute at Okanagan Regional Library is heating up again.
From Tuesday to Saturday, July 10 to 14, members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees were not operating delivery vans.
“That will impact deliveries to the branches,” said Catherine Lord, an ORL director, early last week.
That means items requested by patrons are being delayed.
A similar action was taken by the union in early June as part of its dispute with ORL over wages and benefits.
Unionized staff have also not been collecting overdue fines and that will now also extend to fees for photocopying, promotional items (T-shirts) and facility rentals.
Unionized branches affected by this job action include Cherryville, Falkland, Golden, Kelowna, Lake Country, Mission, North Shuswap, Westbank, Oyama, Peachland, Rutland, Salmon Arm, Silver Creek, Sicamous, South Shuswap and Vernon.
