The union that represents workers in several museum departments says the warning strike stems from contract negotiations begun two years ago, when they unionized.
Workers are calling for better, fairer wages, healthcare and paid family leave.
President of Local 397, Adam Rizzo, explained, "90 percent of the folks in the unit are on a high-deductible healthcare plan, which means we can’t really afford to use our healthcare, especially during a pandemic. That’s so important to workers. And, then other things, like paid family leave. There’s no paid family leave at the museum right now. So, folks save up vacation time, so that they can start a family. And, that’s really just unacceptable.
