The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art has laid off 14% of its full-time staff, many from the organization’s education and public programming team.
The museum, which is under construction in Exposition Park, is expected to open in 2026. https://t.co/dkYLgr5rai
This week, our union executive board voted to create an Archives Committee to preserve the history of our union and strike.
It is necessary. We are art museum workers. We've seen how easily the wealthy and powerful rewrite history, glorify themselves, and erase working people.
19th day of our historic strike: @PMA_Union has reached a tentative agreement with @philamuseum management!! There were 5 issues going into the strike. We got all 5. Management claimed they wouldn’t move. They did. Say it with us: UNITED WE FIGHT UNITED WE WIN
All workers have the legal right to organize a union without fear of retaliation or interference from management. @TheAcademy's leadership should maintain neutrality as Academy Foundation workers organize their union. #1u#AFWU
Workers at the Philadelphia Museum of Art are READY TO STRIKE.
Board chair Leslie Ann Miller, COO Bill Petersen, and General Counsel Al Suh can still avert a strike by remedying Unfair Labor Practices, reaching a fair agreement, and respecting this union.
The clock is ticking.
