Update on Jackson County, Oregon's outsourced libraries (blog posts on Jackson County can be read here):

LSSI Begins Labor Talks - NLRB complaint means workers rehired by library firm will still be unionized http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080213/NEWS/802130312

It will be interesting to see how the outsourcing firm balances what will probably be increased costs with services needed, once the union has agreed to a contract.
