We Have A Contract!
Hello United Museum Workers,
WE WON OUR FIRST CONTRACT!
The United Museum Workers have won our first union contract, making us the largest union of museum professionals in the country! After over a year and a half of bargaining and three years of organizing, we ratified this contract with a resounding 98% voting in favor!
This contract will secure a living wage of at least $16 for every one of our more than 530 members, which amounts to increases of 15 - 30% for the majority of our membership. Part-time workers gained more paid sick time and two paid holidays. We will no longer be at-will employees, and we have a voice in the health and safety of our workplace.
This historic victory would not have been possible without the support of our members across all of the Carnegie Museums and our greater community. We love our jobs, we love our museums, and this triumph shows what can be achieved when we all work together.
The contract goes into effect immediately! You can expect to see your increased wages reflected on your June 23rd paycheck.
You can find the full text of the tentative agreement as well as a summary of the highlights on our website: https://www.umwpgh.org/. Every member will receive a final contract booklet in the coming weeks.
WE ARE THE UNITED MUSEUM WORKERS AND WE WON!
Questions? Ideas? We want to hear from you! Write to us at unitedmuseumworkers.usw@gmail.com. Our strength as a union lies in our transparent communication and shared experience. Let’s chat!
