Museum of Jewish Heritage staff have unionized, but say they are frustrated with management as they try to reach agreement on a first contract.
In November, 27 members of the New York museum’s staff 77% of those who participated in the election voted to join District Council 37, New York City’s largest public employee union. Since then, say union members and their representatives, dealings with management have been difficult.
District Council 37 negotiator Moira Dolan said the process has been the longest leading up to any contract she’s worked on.
“When we unionize any workplace we don’t start from zero, we start from what we have and then look to improve our conditions,” she said. “And we understand that there are always going to be trade offs, but we have not had any meaningful or significant proposals from the management for trade offs.”
