Columbus Museum of ArtWorkers at the Columbus Museum of Art sent a letter to the museum's management staff asking them to recognize their union, formed in collaboration with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
"They were enthusiastic. I believe they are trying to cooperate with us as much as they can and I think it will be an ongoing partnership,” Romey said.In a statement sent to The Dispatch, the museum responded: “The Columbus Museum of Art greatly values the talents and contributions of our colleagues, which make it possible for the museum to serve our community every day.
Concerns the staff had were emphasized even more by the pandemic, Romey said.
