Staff at the Brooklyn Museum have overwhelmingly voted to form a union, becoming the latest in a string of museum workforces that have opted to collectively bargain.
In a National Labor Relations Board election this week, employees of the Eastern Parkway cultural institution in departments like curation, conservation, events, exhibits, and reception voted 96 percent in favor of joining United Auto Workers Local 2110 — a union that represents a number of museums staffs, such as the Museum of Modern Art, the New Museum, the Tenement Museum, and the Whitney.
