Hello United Museum Workers,
Thank you to everyone who attended the Pitt Faculty Union rally and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette One-Year Strike rally! Showing solidarity across the wider labor movement is a key part of our role as a union, the United Steelworkers have earned our reputation of showing up for local workers!
We would also like to thank everyone who brought food and friends to our Victory Party. We ate, we drank, we sang songs, we printed t-shirts, we bonded, and we partied! Feel free to reach out if you’d like to help plan another party for our union.

Join Us on Slack!
The United Museum Workers has recently 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
You can 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!
Next Local 9562 Meeting
Save the date: the next meeting of our amalgamated local will take place on Wednesday, November 15th. Meet in person at USW Headquarters in Downtown Pittsburgh or join us on Zoom.
Stay tuned for additional details and a Zoom link.
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!
