Eric Heist decided to join the movement after noticing a pay disparity between the Guggenheim’s art handlers and those at competing institutions. As someone who’s moved through the industry for nearly three decades across institutions, he sees room for improvement. According to Heist, many of his colleagues make $25 per hour while art installers at MoMA PS1 make $32.50 per hour, which is a 30 percent difference in pay. As someone who’s moved through the industry for nearly three decades, Heist believes that union progress at PS1 and other museums can provide a roadmap for workers at the Guggenheim.
