Setup: 06-Feb-2012 [1013]

This is useful for Central Park Conservancy relationship with the City of New York:

And this is the Conservancy's structure and mission statement, core values etc:

We can view their annual reports all the way back to 1981 for a bit of a history lesson in what they did:

I'm not sure if Central Park Conservancy staff can join a union...still looking...

DC 37 seems to cover NYC park workers: http://www.dc37.net/about/locals/bluecollarlocals.html

...but this link below suggests there is not really a union for some park workers, here's a clip from the article:

60 employees of the Boathouse Restaurant in New York’s Central Park walked off their jobs on August 9 and were joined on the picket line by 37 of their co-workers who were illegally terminated in retaliation for organizing a union. Boathouse workers began organizing in 2009 because of very low wages, stolen overtime pay, long hours, no benefits, unsafe conditions, rampant favoritism, sexual harassment, ethnic discrimination, and extremely abusive managers.
