The employees of a well-regarded firm SHoP Architects said on Tuesday that they are seeking to change the system of long hours for average pay by taking a step that has never been heard of in their field. Their solution is to unionize. The organizers are SHoP has about 135 employees and is known for its work on the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and a luxury building Steinway tower said that well over half of their eligible colleagues had signed cards pledging support for the union.
They plan to affiliate themselves with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and are asking for voluntary recognition. This would be the only union at a prominent private-sector architecture firm in the US. The union backers at the firm call themselves the Architectural Workers United and said, "Many of us feel pushed to the limits of our productivity and mental health. SHoP is the firm that can begin to enact changes that will eventually ensure a more healthy and equitable future.”
