    MARYLAND INSTITUTE COLLEGE OF ART SET TO LAY OFF RECENTLY UNIONIZED WORKERS

    July 28, 2022 // Citing a budget shortfall and lowered enrollment, the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) announced broad staff layoffs just weeks after workers there voted to unionize and two days after the union petitioned management to refrain from making unilateral changes to their working conditions without engaging in bargaining. The restructuring is expected to eliminate roughly 10 percent of the union’s bargaining unit ahead of initial contract negotiations. Siân Evans
