Voicing Our Own Value: The New Museum Labor Movement Friday, September 6, 2024 12 - 1:30 PM EST In recent years, museums across the country have seen a new wave of unionization efforts as museum staff have begun to recognize the importance of organizing, these efforts often involve contradictions between new expectations and the “way things have always been done” at our institutions. Can unions provide new energy for cultural organizations rather than pose a threat? Can living wages and protections against toxic workplaces coexist within a vibrant and sustainable museum economic model? |
