The National Labor Relations Board has recognized Say Si, an after-school art program, as a union and it’s ready to begin working with board members.
The unionizing process began in October of last year, but union members said it’s been a multi-month and challenging process to be recognized.
“We don’t have the capacity to be that aggressive. I don’t have $50,000 to throw to law firm to represent me,” theater director Amalia Ortiz said. “We have money to do arts programming, that is second to none in the United States, but we don’t have money to pay the workers to have it done,” visual arts director Ashley Perez said.“In order to create healthy programming, you need to know the perspective of the people in the trenches,” Perez said.
