How Chicago Museum Unionizing Could Impact Workers, Visitors

from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons · host WBEZ Chicago

Chicago’s museums and cultural institutions are as much a part of the fabric of the city as Wrigley Field or the lakefront. And they’ve been around a long time. Some are more than a century old.

In the Loop talks with Chicago Sun-Times arts and culture reporter Erica Thompson, Anders Lindall of AFSCME Council 31 and Adler Planetarium employee Lileas Maier.For a full archive of In the Loop interviews, head over to wbez.org/intheloop.
