MASS MoCA union workers voting on a contract offer that could end an almost three-week strike
After almost three weeks on the picket line, union workers at a North Adams, Massachusetts art museum say they’re voting on a contract offer today. Around 120 UAW 2110 members began their work stoppage on March 6th after contract negotiations with MASS MoCA management stalled out after six months. According the union, the offer includes an average pay increase of 12% by the second year of the agreement, as well as greater holiday and overtime pay. Museum management has protested that the workers’ demands would threaten its ability to operate as a nonprofit cultural institution. MASS MoCA is the major magnet for the post-industrial city, whose economy is reliant on tourism. If the contract is approved by membership when voting ends this evening, union spokesperson Chelsea Farrell tells WAMC the strike will end.
