Jason Cuvelier, a six-year veteran of Christie's auction house in New York who began as an art handler and preparator and became a union shop steward in recent years, has resigned. On his way out the door, he wrote a moderately pissy (also slightly over-victimized) email: "A moment should be taken to note the optimism that once existed after we unionized only to see it squashed by a culture of harassment that has since permeated and fostered." The most sad/hilarious part: "It would be shameless of me not to let the powers that be know my deep gratitude for eliminating most of the older Art Handlers internet access. God knows what treacherous and deviant websites you have kept us from visiting - thanks!"
