Hello United Museum Workers!
Special thanks to those who helped us to secure a strong Bargaining Committee by participating in our nominations meeting. Only two people were nominated, therefore we can immediately add them to the Bargaining Committee. Congratulations to our new BC members: Ethan Gladding and Shawn Watrous! Ethan is an art preparator and represents UMW members at the Warhol. Shawn is the associate preparator at CMOA. Thank you for volunteering to advocate for all of us in UMW. Get to know our two newest members of the Bargaining Committee!

As we come to the end of a busy summer, we are poised to continue making great strides toward a more satisfying and equitable workplace. This would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of each and every one of you.
Mark your calendars! You won't want to miss any of our upcoming celebrations! Due to a conflict with Rosh Hashanah, we have decided to reschedule our first UMW potluck for Monday, October 4th. We truly value our diverse workforce, and so we want to be inclusive in all our events. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we hope you will be able to attend the potluck on this new date.
