Returning to the senses in which BAM is not working for its workers, let us count the ways: With furloughs, reduced work, and layoffs, the highest salary at BAM is still 10.9x higher than the lowest salaried position. #BAMNotWorking

Shout out to our labor movement siblings from UAW UFT and New Museum Union! The people united will never be defeated! #ReclaimPride #labor4blacklives #Proud2Care

"I feel the absence of my friends and colleagues who were laid off or placed on furlough every day. For me, the painful and divisive staff changes at BAM have contributed to the always present sense of isolation and uncertainty of these times." - Nora / Copywriter / Reduced Hours

If BAM’s Artistic Director (AD) and President had taken the rest of 2020 without pay (Apr onward), all furloughed employees could still be working, albeit at reduced hours. The AD and Pres still would have made 6 figure salaries from working Jan thru Apr 2020 #BAMNotWorking

NEWSFLASH 🚨 #BAMNotWorking is DEFINITELY still a thing! We thought PPP loans were meant to to help cover payroll expenses, and yet, BAM has implemented a Voluntary Separation Incentive to “reduce staffing costs” while eluding to the possibility of “more staffing changes.”

SEE YOU THERE!
