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.
