""We had 100% of the votes were a yes, so it was pretty exciting, not super surprising, but yeah, we're all very happy about it," said Ava Dennis, a part-time museum educator who was involved in the union effort."
"DC37 Executive Director Henry Garrido said in a statement that "It's clear these workers are passionate about carrying out the museum's mission, and they have done an incredible job fighting for their right to unionize.""
""While we celebrate this victory, we also have our eyes firmly set on bargaining our first contract, which will codify the rights and protections we have fought so hard for and know.""
Workers at the New York Transit Museum formed the Transit Museum Collective, consisting of 30 employees, and voted unanimously to unionize. They sought higher wages and better job security after management initially declined to recognize the union. The vote, which took place through a National Labor Relations Board election, resulted in 100% support for unionization. The union is now preparing for contract negotiations to secure rights and protections for its members.
