Hi everyone: thank for following us here @PMWU397. We are part of @phillycwu and are transitioning to posting PMWU posts primarily on that account. So for future PMWU updates, please be sure to follow us @phillycwu !

[AFSCME District Council 47 @PHLafscmeDC47]

In 2024, @PHLafscmeDC47 is continuing to build a coalition of workers for tomorrow. It’s time we bring back the middle class & bring dignity & respect back to the American workforce. It’s time for equity, equality, and justice in our lives…

Have a union? Strengthen your union.
Don't have a union? Start a union.

Don't know how? We'll help you. https://t.co/28vWCbyP6w

[SAM VSO Union @samvsounion]

Join us on the picket line today! 12-3pm outside Seattle Art Museum at 1st and Union!

[Philly Cultural Workers United @PhillyCWU]

Heads up: change is coming to @PMA_Union social media!

We unionized @philamuseum in 2020, @pennmuseum in '21, @pleasetouch in '23, and will keep growing. Since we bridge multiple museums, we're soon gonna post with a new name!

But don’t be confused: same content, new name!

[SAM VSO Union @samvsounion]

Our solidarity movement keeps growing! Grateful to the Washington Museum Association, and @PMA_Union @PMWU397 @PTMUnited @PHLafscmeDC47 for their letters of support with our struggle for a fair contract. @iheartSAM

[Penn Museum Workers United @PMWU397]

Shameful @philamuseum. Grievances can be resolved if you’re actually interested in doing what you claim: healing the museum after years of failures

[Philly Cultural Workers United @PhillyCWU]

We are only a year into our 1st contract, but grievances are piling up. Longevity Pay still owed.

In the new year, a delegation of @philamuseum employees will be traveling around to meet with our city & state legislators about ongoing problems with management at the Art Museum.

[Penn Museum Workers United @PMWU397]

[Penn Museum Workers United @PMWU397]

The Coalition of Workers at Penn continues to grow : )

[AAUP–Penn @aaup_penn]

In their latest violation of academic freedom, Penn administrators are attempting to cancel a film screening today by Jewish student group Penn Chavurah and by our Middle East Center colleagues who agreed to host. Read our response and come tonight at 6:30 https://t.co/gAFmO8UoXL

[Philly Cultural Workers United @PhillyCWU]

Museums are workplaces that have played this card a long time, exploiting the promise of proximity to art to get away with low pay, bad healthcare, etc

Then you show up your first day and more often than not, you're working in some annex that's a hot, windowless cubefarm🥴

[GETUP-UAW Local 5124 @GETUPgrads]

This Thursday, Penn grad student parents and caretakers are meeting to discuss what improvements we can win together for workers with dependents. RSVP here to join: https://t.co/FYgJ4kB7JT

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

You also deserve a union, and a raise.

[Rep. Rick Krajewski @RepKrajewski]

Really great to welcome some fantastic organizers from @getupgrads at the State House for a meeting with Philadelphia’s representatives. As Penn grad students gear up for a hearing with the NLRB on Thursday, I want them to know their electeds are PROUD to stand with them!

[Philly Cultural Workers United @PhillyCWU]

Canceling bargaining sessions @UArts?! Shame on @uarts admin. Picketing tomorrow 10am-2pm

[Philly Workers United @PJBWU]

We are so excited to announce our union, The Cliffs Climbing United! We are affiliating with PJB Workers United and ask that our employer respect our right to unionize!

If you have any questions or are looking to support, please reach out and lookout for a linktree soon!

[Penn Museum Workers United @PMWU397]

Congratulations and welcome to your new roles, Halcyone and Amanda! Proud to be part of a union for Philly museum workers, led by Philly museum workers!!

[Philly Cultural Workers United @PhillyCWU]

Announcing our Local's new President & Vice President:

Our new Local President is Halcyone Schiller! Halcyone (she/her) was our Vice President, and works as a Conservation Technician @philamuseum. She has also served on our Pay Equity and Social committees...

[Philly Cultural Workers United @PhillyCWU]

Seriously folks, this proposed @USDOL rule change would be huge!

Are you a salaried worker making less than $55,068? This rule change would mean your employer would have to:
- Raise your salary above $55,068
- Or pay you for any extra hours you work, and 1.5x after 40 hrs👍

[Hamilton Nolan @hamiltonnolan]

We can’t afford to have a union because we had to build this
