Employees at the Shedd Aquarium have overwhelmingly voted to join American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Council 31, making them the latest Workers at the Chicago Cultural Institution who’ve decided to organize for an improved workplace.  More than 75% of Workers voted for the formation of Shedd Workers United.  The 180-person Union includes Staff who work in guest relations, learning and community, development and other departments.  Workers initially announced their intent to join AFSCME in April, citing concerns with work-life imbalance, low wages and a lack of communication from management and more. Despite Union Busting activities from management, Workers remained steadfast in their fight for representation.  “We formed our Union because we care about our Co-Workers, we love the aquarium and we want to make it better for all.  We won by overcoming management’s divisive Anti-Union Campaign,” the Shedd Workers United Organizing Committee said.
