California Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Faculty at the School of American Ballet have taken the first steps toward forming a union: https://www.musicalartists.org/faculty-from-the-school-of-american-ballet-take-history-making-steps-to-unionize/ (Let me also note that the 250 employees of the Denver Art Museum are also voting to unionize: https://coloradosun.com/2024/01/31/denver-art-museum-workers-united/) Part of a national trend toward unionizing, but it's interesting to see it take hold in the arts.

lmspear Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) My first reaction to this is wouldn't the faculty be better served by one of the large teacher's unions, the National Education Association or the United Federation of Teachers? Edited January 31 by lmspear Link to comment

As so many (all?) of the teachers were members of the AGMA while dancers at NYCB, they might have felt most comfortable with this union and its understanding of the artform. https://www.musicalartists.org/agma-nycb-reach-new-3-year-agreement/ Link to comment
