Join Us on Slack!
The United Museum Workers has created a workspace on Slack, a common communication and organization platform. Any member of the United Museum Workers can join our Slack at this link: https://join.slack.com/t/unitedmuseumusw-95625/shared_invite/zt-20prebjdy-wZM2HpfvDHNOK2PjiBKIKQ
We encourage all our members to download the Slack app on your phone and personal computer, or just use the platform with your web browser. Our union uses Slack to share updates about upcoming union events, organize union activity, spread the word about local labor actions, socialize, and post cute photos of our pets and plants! You can also bring up problems at your museum that need the attention of our union grievers, ask questions about other departments and other museums, and get to know your fellow union members.
The UMW leaders look forward to seeing more of you on our Slack!
Check Our Bulletin Boards!
UMW has designated bulletin boards at all of our main museum locations. Keep an eye on them to see UMW updates in person. Here are the bulletin board locations:
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!
