Staff members at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art voted overwhelmingly to unionize with the United Auto Workers after a years-long organizing effort at one of the largest art museums in the world.

Workers approved joining the labor union with 76% support following more than four years of organizing. Employees have been seeking greater job security, pay equity and clearer workplace policies, the UAW said in a statement Friday.
