Employees at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) are unionizing. LACMA United will represent over 300 workers across all eligible departments within the museum in a bid for “fairer compensation, expanded benefits, and increased transparency.” The union was formed through AFSCME Cultural Workers United District Council 36. They explained their motivations for organizing in a letter to LACMA’s board and leadership on Wednesday. “Many employees are struggling with wages that have not kept up with the rising cost of living in the sixth-most expensive city in the world,” the union’s letter reads. “At the same time, employees in virtually every department continue to absorb expanded responsibilities and workloads, often without additional compensation, due to high turnover, limited resources, and positions that have been vacated or frozen.” To read the full stoy by officialstromberg, visit the link in bio. . . .
