Approximately 68 Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden (LGBG) workers have overwhelmingly voted to join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM).

“LGBG employees are a beloved and important part of the RVA community,” said IAM International Representative Bridget Fitzgerald, lead organizer on the campaign. “I could not be more proud of these workers for standing together and uniting for what they deserve.
