.- 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.

The Harriet Beecher Stowe Center’s executive director is departing her current position for a job at the National Endowment for the Humanities, the center announced this week.
Briann Greenfield, who has led the historic house museum since June 2018, will become director of the division of preservation and access at the NEH, an independent federal agency that supports research and education programs in the humanities.
“I have been both happy and humbled to work at the Stowe Center, ensuring that heritage resources remain relevant, vital and accessible in building a more just world,” Greenfield said in a statement. “I’m thrilled by the opportunity to put these principles to use at the federal level.”
