The Museum of Contemporary Art on May 31, 2017, in Chicago. The museum will voluntarily recognize its staff as members of AFSCME Council 31, the union and museum officials said Friday. The Museum of Contemporary Art has agreed to voluntarily recognize its staffers’ union, the museum and the union said Friday.
The MCA is the first Chicago museum to offer voluntary recognition to its staff union with AFSCME Council 31, said Anders Lindall, spokesperson for the union. Lindall said the third party had verified the signed union cards Friday. Museum spokesperson Abraham Ritchie confirmed the MCA was satisfied the card check process showed majority support for the union and said it would formally recognize the union once the results were certified by the NLRB.
Lindall said AFSCME submitted 75 union cards, with the neutral third party verifying 61 of them. The union believes the other 14 cards were valid but did not pursue their verification because they would not affect the results, Lindall said.
