BAM employees vote ‘yes’ to union
Employees across several departments at the Brooklyn Academy of Music voted by an overwhelming margin to unionize — joining Local 2110 UAW, the Technical, Office and Professional division of the United Auto Workers union.
The measure passed with 82 percent of the vote, BAM staffers tweeted out late Thursday.
Before the vote, BAM employees said on their website that they cared deeply about the academy, and unionizing would make the famous Fort Greene avant-garde venue stronger and more democratic.
