Guggenheim Legionella Found, Union Tensions Simmer

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York discovered Legionella bacteria in its cooling tower during routine tests, prompting immediate remediation. The museum insists the building remains safe, as the tower is isolated from public and exhibition areas. This coincides with a pneumonia outbreak on the Upper East Side, where 36 cases and 22 hospitalizations have been linked to a cluster, with inspectors testing over 100 buildings. The union UAW Local 2110, representing museum workers, expressed satisfaction with the museum's response, but tensions remain high after 93% of unionized workers voted to authorize a strike last month due to stalled contract negotiations. No strike date has been set.
