Storm King resisting union push
Mid-Hudson News reports that the Storm King arts center is arguing that the attendants are actually security guards and should not be in the same union negotiating unit as the office personnel, according to Visitors’ Services Attendant Marques Villaronga, a member of the organizing committee. Workers at Storm King, the large outdoor sculpture park in Orange County, are trying to join the Civil Service Employees Association. The efforts to unionize employees of the Storm King Art Center in Cornwall has been going on for over a year and both sides are now waiting on a decision from the National Labor Relations Board. The CSEA union says the art center has retained the law firm of Zelman, Rothermel, Jacobs, & Schess from New York City, and that the services listed on the firm’s website include “preventive and union avoidance measures” as well as “responding to union organizing campaigns.” Read more about this story at Mid-Hudson News.
