In September 2022, the staff and management of Bernheimer Architecture announced that they had organized an architectural union, Architectural Workers United—the first private sector union of architectural professionals in the U.S. In this podcast, Bernheimer architects Andrew Daley and Danielle Tellez explain the success of their campaign, the pros and cons of the process, and the ways in which they see unionizing strengthening the industry and, ultimately, benefiting everyone. And they discuss how unionizing—even in small firms—can better work culture and help firms grow and innovate.
