MASS MoCA Wins New Contract After Three-Week Strike

Following a powerful three-week strike, the MASS MoCA Union (Local 2110) reached an agreement that was ratified by the membership on Tuesday.

The agreement implements a new hourly minimum wage of $18 and includes yearly salary increases. The overall wage increases across staff range from 3.9% to 14.29%. On average, Mass Moca workers can expect a pay increase of 12.1% by the second year of the contract. Other added benefits include holiday pay and establishing overtime pay for shifts that last more than ten hours.

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey tweeted to congratulate the workers, and the strike’s end was covered in the Boston Globe, Art Newspaper, WBUR, and more!
