Tough news from Snøhetta, but the fight for a more equitable profession isn’t over. All love and solidarity to the workers.

Union supporters at the prominent architecture firm Snohetta have fallen just short in their effort to become the first private-sector architecture firm to win a union election in almost 100 yrs. Vote was 29-28. They had hoped to accelerate an industrywide organizing campaign. 1/

This is enraging and disappointing on so many levels. Architecture needs not to look for different genius stars but rather dismantle the notion that idolized individuals design and build anything at all on their own. ft.com/content/1a03a13c-a0b3…

Workers at the prominent architecture and design firm Snohetta have just filed for a union election. Would be a huge step forward in unionizing the industry. x.com/arch_workers_u/status/…

On behalf of the Snøhetta Union, Architectural Workers United is proud to offer this statement from the workers themselves ✊
"We, the employees of Snøhetta’s U.S. studios, have filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board for a union election.

I think this captures really well what a lot of people misunderstand about labor organizing.
People don’t unionize because they hate their jobs and want to get out of them. They unionize because they find value in their work and want to do it well, to do it safely & sustainably.

"We all like architecture and want to be architects, so we would like that to be possible."
Amazing look inside the only private sector union of architectural workers in the U.S.

Architecture and Planning faculty join calls for UMich to stop suing us in court and just pay us a living wage. “We also stand by all members of our college who withhold grades and we will collectively and strenuously oppose any effort to sanction instructors who have done so.”

tfw Linh Song just donated an an entire GSI salary to our strike fund 💜
Thank you SO MUCH @lsong !
ALT Screenshot from givebutter of Linh Song's $25,000 donation. She writes, "I’m donating my City Council salary as this aligns with my commitment to donate my annual salary to housing related programs. Fair wages, affordable housing, and cost of living are all issues that elected officials and administrators influence. We can do better."
