Maintenance workers and art installers at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum have just voted to join the International Union of Operating Engineers. Despite museum management’s attempts to dissuade workers from unionizing, the union will represent nearly 150 employees. Employees have stated that a museum official sent an email earlier this week, stating his belief that a union will create division between workers and management. Employees were motivated to unionize in order to bargain for higher wages.
