Employees at the Upper East Side’s Metropolitan Museum of Art voted to unionize last week, citing concerns about workloads, pay equity, job security, and “transparency about employment policies.”
The vote passed with a 76% margin, with 542 votes in favor, 172 votes against, and 100 ballots that remain sealed because the museum “objected to inclusion of these staff in the union,” according to a Jan. 16 announcement from the union.
