We previously reported on workers at the New York Transit Museum voting on whether to unionize after the museum refused to voluntarily recognize their organizing effort. On March 27th the bargaining unit, dubbed the Transit Museum Collective, voted unanimously to unionize with District Council 37 AFSCME — New York city’s largest municipal employees union.
“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.
“The general vibe is very positive at the museum right now, and we’re looking forward to going into bargaining,” she added.
