Democratic Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren says she’s backing union workers on strike at a North Adams museum.

Around 120 UAW 2110 workers at MASS MoCA have been on strike since March 6th amid stalled contract negotiations.

Warren, who is running for a third term, reposted WAMC coverage of the work stoppage on X.com – formerly Twitter – with the following message:

“I stand in solidarity with UAW workers striking for higher pay at MASS MoCA. Museum management should negotiate with union workers in good faith for a fair deal.”

MASS MoCA maintains that it has negotiated fairly with the union and that it stands by the contract it offered workers.
