Source excerpt
The Marciano Art Foundation has reached a private settlement with 70 visitor services associates who were abruptly laid off just days after announcing a union drive late last year.
Earlier this year the various parties agreed to sort out the dispute via private mediation — reaching a settlement late last month. As part of that agreement, AFSCME will withdraw its unfair-labor-practice charge.
The settlement will provide 10 weeks of severance pay to each laid-off employee.
