.- Employees of the Whitney Museum of American Art are the latest group of museum workers in the city to take steps toward forming a union.
They are also the most recent example of museum employees who have chosen to organize under the wing of a union not everyone would associate with the art world: the United Automobile Workers.
A petition asking for a union vote was filed Monday with the National Labor Relations Board by the Technical, Office, and Professional Union, Local 2110 UAW.
