LSSI explains takeover plans
Source: By Scott Mobley, Record Searchlight (CA), September 7, 2006
Top brass for Library Services and Systems LLC (LSSI) met with Shasta County Library employees Wednesday morning, less than 12 hours after the Redding City Council agreed to take ownership of the system and turn over its management to the private, Maryland-based firm.
........ LSSI must grant current employees job interviews and automatically give them 5 preference points out of 100 possible, under the agreement transferring library system ownership from Shasta County to Redding. Library employees not wanting to work for LSSI are guaranteed other jobs with the county -- although likely at lower pay.
