Met Museum Workers Move to Unionize
"long term pay inequities, lack of job protection and ever-increasing workloads"
"Over many decades, we have worked to develop a culture of inclusivity, collaboration and creativity, and take every opportunity to uplift our employees,"
"We respect the right to seek union representation and are proud of our longstanding relationships with DC37 and Local 306 IATSE, which represent a large segment of our staff."
Local 2110 of the UAW petitioned the National Labor Relations Board to create a bargaining unit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art covering roughly 1,000 salaried and hourly employees across museum sectors. If certified, the unit would rank the Met among the largest unionized museums in the nation. The union cited long-term pay inequities, lack of job protection, and ever-increasing workloads as driving reasons. Local 2110 already represents staff at major New York cultural institutions. The Met currently has two smaller unions for security guards and projectionists, employs about 2,015 people, and reports average salary increases of roughly 4 percent annually over five years.
