The two year effort to form an independent labor union for the AlliedBarton security guards at the world famous Philadelphia Museum of Art finally resulted in a victory for the union this weekend. The formerly unionized guards lost their union in 1992 when the jobs were privatized by then Mayor Ed Rendell.
“It is hard for any group of workers to join a union,” says Cecelia Lynch, museum guard and union activist.

CANTON —The vote that the Massachusetts Nurses Association held on Oct. 1 to join with two out-of-state unions was one of the most important ones in the MNA’s history. So it’s easy to understand why many of the Canton-based union’s nearly 23,000 members wish they could have participated.
At its annual meeting in Brewster, the MNA overwhelmingly approved a measure to join a massive nationwide union representing nearly 150,000 nurses. But fewer than 2 percent of the MNA’s members actually voted in favor of it.

Three years after getting their first labor agreement, janitors who clean some of Houston's biggest office buildings are facing a rough economy and other difficulties as they negotiate a new contract.
The Service Employees International Union, which represents 3,200 janitors in Houston, is launching its efforts at a time when many workers are getting pink slips and taking wage cuts. And the union has had links to ACORN, the national community organization that has drawn fire for alleged misbehavior by some employees, former officers and voter registration contractors.
