Union Handlers In Labor Dispute With Sotheby’s

August 1st, 2011 by Sergio Muñoz Sarmiento

Members of Teamsters Local 814 allege they are being locked out over a contract dispute with Sotheby’s. They also allege Sotheby’s is asking for pay cuts and wants to change seniority rules even after posting profits of close to $700 million. Sotheby’s has hired temporary employees to take their place.

    I can say from personal experience while working at Sotheby’s that these art handlers are unsung super stars who make it all come together with skills that nobody else in the building could pull off.
