Voicing Our Own Value: The New Museum Labor Movement75-minute session
Location: Hilton Albany, Kelsey Day/Time: Tuesday, April 9 // 10:45 AM - Noon About: 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? Presenters: Aaron Noble, Communication Chair , PEF Division 194
Maida Rosenstein, Director of Organizing, Brooklyn Museum Union
Sean Collins, Union Representative/Organizer, SEIU Local 200 United Deborah F. Schwartz, Proprietor, Deborah F. Schwartz Consulting |
