Coming Soon: Nominations Meeting
Are you interested in helping to bargain our first contract? Do you know a coworker who would be interested? We will hold a Nominations Meeting on Monday, May 9 from 7:00 - 8:00pm.
There are currently TWO seats open on our Bargaining Committee. These are both At-Large positions, meaning the individual can work at any of the museums.
You must attend this meeting in order to nominate yourself or a coworker. Nominees will have the opportunity to make a short statement about themselves at the end of the meeting. Attendees will also have a chance to hear from members of our Bargaining Committee and get the latest updates.

In case you missed it…
We’re getting another raise! The Bargaining Committee recently secured a third wage increase for our lowest paid workers, even before finalizing our first union contract! CMP workers will now earn a starting minimum wage of $12/hour, and experienced workers will receive additional increases reflecting their seniority. Read more in our latest bargaining update.
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.
