Staff at the Field Museum said Tuesday they have filed for a union representation election to decide if they join the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
The workers, who would affiliate with AFSCME’s Council 31, filed a petition for an election with the National Labor Relations Board in Chicago. Council 31 spokesman Anders Lindall said the petition included signed union cards from “a strong majority” of about 300 people in the proposed bargaining unit.
