Audio/visual employees at Tulsa’s BOK Center and the Arvest Convention Center are advocating for higher pay, citing a lack of base pay increases since 2021.
The workers are concerned about staffing issues and have submitted a petition requesting a $25-an-hour base wage.
Employees claim that the current pay does not align with the work they do, and are experiencing low morale and difficulty retaining experienced technicians.
The company operating the BOK Center and the Arvest Convention Center, Oak View Company, is reviewing the situation after employees gave a 30-day ultimatum, with the possibility of a strike looming if changes are not made.
