Employees at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams have voted overwhelmingly to unionize.
The mail-in ballots were counted over a Zoom meeting on Wednesday. The results were not unexpected, said Amanda Tobin, the museum s assistant director of education and a spokesperson for the organizing employees.
The next step, Tobin said, is to survey union members to make sure their needs are represented when it comes to bargaining.
“In our organizing conversations with people, [many] talked about pay equity and the low wages in general at MASS MoCA,” Tobin said.
Tobin said people also talked about safety, in terms of machinery and equipment as well as COVID-19 and they talked about job security.
