CHICAGO – Chicago History Museum employees are making history of their own.
On Feb. 12, they announced they're forming their union with AFSCME Council 31. The news came in a public letter signed by 27 members of the union’s organizing committee and distributed to their co-workers.
“We are sincerely committed to this institution and the work we do in carrying out its mission and caring for its vast collections, but we need proper support and resources,” the workers wrote.
The letter says that together in their union, employees will seek better communication with management, improved job security, livable wages, a voice on the job and fight for other priorities.
