The Brooklyn Museum has postponed layoffs of 47 employees, scheduled for March 9, in light of potential additional funding from the New York City Council. Museum director Ann Pasternak announced a new deadline of March 16 following discussions with council members regarding a tentative $2.5 million proposal for Fiscal Year 2026. This funding won't fully address the museum's $10 million deficit but could provide necessary breathing room. Union representatives express hope for more negotiations to find solutions to the museum's financial challenges.
"The Brooklyn Museum has delayed the impending layoffs of almost 50 employees... as city council members proposed additional funding for the coming fiscal year."
"Union members and local leaders rallied against the layoffs... and negotiations are ongoing between union leaders, museum executives, and the City Council."
