December 12, 2022 - UMW Newsletter
Hello United Museum Workers!
Information Is Power
Bargaining is ongoing, and we want to make sure membership stays in the loop. Want to know exactly what’s going on with contract negotiations? Interested in keeping up with UMW events? Text UMW to the number 47486 to stay up-to-date with the latest UMW news. We’re committed to open and transparent communication across all components.
These text updates will be shorter and faster than the newsletters and bargaining updates. Even if you have already subscribed to our newsletters and followed us on social media, it is important to sign up for these text updates in order to receive the vital information you need as union members as quickly as possible. Please sign up for text updates now and spread the word!
UMW Celebrates the New Year on the North Side
What better way to celebrate the season than with a show of solidarity? As our Bargaining Committee continues to fight for raises, benefits, and better conditions for all of us, let’s show our support for them and for each other.
On Saturday, December 31st, UMW will celebrate New Year’s Eve with outreaches at The Andy Warhol Museum and the Carnegie Science Center. We will distribute snacks, buttons, and other union goodies to show our appreciation to the frontline staff members who have to work during the holidays.
If you are available to help give out treats and materials on New Years Eve, please email us at [email protected]
For those of you working at the Oakland museums, know that we haven’t forgotten about you! Our union absolutely appreciates your labor as well and we will plan a similar outreach for your locations in the new year. Want to help plan our next outreach in Oakland? Please email us at [email protected] and we’d love to hear your ideas!
We Went to Mars!
Last month UMW and friends gathered outside of the Carnegie Science Center to advocate for a fair contract during the opening day of the widely anticipated exhibition, Mars: The Next Giant Leap. We talked, sang, and danced with visitors, coworkers, and community members on the North Shore. We also enjoyed some good eats, hot coffee, and love from our supporters, which warmed us greatly on the chilly day. We hope that our message resonated from here to Mars: museum workers deserve a living wage, and we will stand together for a contract that benefits us all.

Questions? Ideas? We want to hear from you! Write to us at [email protected]. Our strength as a union lies in our transparent communication and shared experience. Let’s chat!
