New York Transit Museum workers unionize in unanimous vote as they seek better wages, job security | amNewYork

"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, Ava Dennis, a part-time museum educator who was involved in the union effort, told amNewYork."

"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."

Workers at the New York Transit Museum voted unanimously to form the Transit Museum Collective union, consisting of 30 employees from various departments. The union seeks higher wages and improved job security. Recognition was achieved through a National Labor Relations Board election after management initially declined to acknowledge the union. The positive atmosphere among workers reflects their excitement about the future bargaining process. The union's leadership emphasizes the importance of negotiating a first contract to secure rights and protections for its members.
