The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) Boston laid off 33 workers in a 6.3% staff reduction, citing a $13 million projected deficit. Karen Frascona, the museum’s director of communications, confirmed to Hyperallergic that the layoffs impacted 16 union members. She noted that a range of roles were affected, spanning “curatorial to operations to high-level management.” On behalf of the MFA Boston union, Local 2110 UAW representative Chelsea Farrell told Hyperallergic that the unit was “deeply concerned” about the effect of the layoffs on affected staff and remaining workers. Paul McAlpine, who worked in public services and collections management in MFA Boston’s libraries and archives for over 28 years, told Hyperallergic that he was among the 16 union staff laid off. “Now, I’m out of a full-time job, I can never retire, and I have no health benefits — I just got a medical bill.” To read the full story, visit our link in bio. . . .
