She and some other white-collar workers at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City are striking to raise the base pay from $17,000 to $20,000 and retain medical and other insurance benefits. The strikers have the support of prominent artists (like Sol LeWitt) and filmmakers (like Steven Spielberg). But the MOMA brass remain firm.
