Meet the Workers Who are Unionizing the Monterey Bay Aquarium – Talk of the Bay

On this Talk of the Bay, Meilin Obinata interviewed two members of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Workers United to find out what is motivating workers to form a union for the first time in the history of the aquarium. In this show, you’ll hear from two members of the organizing committee who are attempting to form a union: Alex Magaña, who has been working for the last 3 years as an Audio Visual Technician in the Multimedia Engineering Department and Cristie Robles-Beilby, who has been working as a Aquarist 2, in the Animal Care Department for the last 5 years. You’ll also learn who has the best hobbies of all the employees at the aquarium. At this time, the workers are seeking support from the community by asking people to sign a letter of support, which you can view here: https://mbaworkersunited.org/community-letter-support
