We won!!! First official union at Seattle Art Museum!
It has been rough recently as we had to spend a lot of money responding to the museum's legal tactics, if you or anyone you know is able to donate to our legal fund, we would much appreciate any help we can get! Link in bio. Solidarity! Thank you all for the support❤️ 2/2
Todays the day! Union ballots are officially being sent out from the NLRB and we’re so excited! May 31st all ballots counted💌📥 We are continuing the labor struggle towards better wages, protections, and benefits in our workplace for all VSOs❤️🐪 1/2
Thank you @crosscut for the feature! As we get closer to our Election Day (May 10th -31st) please help us out by donating any funds you can to our GoFundMe (link in bio) to help out with legal funds. 🐪❤️crosscut.com/culture/2022/0…
Exciting UPDATE: Earlier this week, we received notice from the NLRB of our official SECRET BALLOT ELECTION DATE!!! Our NLRB Union Representation election will be held via mail 💌 May 10th ballots will be sent out and May 31st ballots will be counted.
In the meantime, Aselya has to cover rent without the income she relied on as a Seattle Art Museum employee. Please help her deal with this sudden loss of wages by donating what you can to help her pay rent. (Link in bio.) We appreciate your solidarity! 10/10
An Unfair Labor Practice charge has already been filed with the NLRB about this situation and we believe their investigation will show that Aselya's termination was in retaliation for protected activity. 9/10
Aselya Keyes (a young POC woman) was fired for what we believe is retaliation for union organizing the security department. Aselya has been an actively public face for the SAMVSOUnion and has been an extremely efficient organizer. 1/10
Now that we have officially begun our union's election campaign, we are partnering with a local legal firm to aid in our further efforts toward unionization! If you support our cause, please consider donating to help us in these crucial next steps. ✊🙏🐫 gofundme.com/f/sam-vso-union
We are proud to announce that we have officially filed union cards with the NLRB as an independent union! Thank you to everyone involved for your hard work and your continued solidarity with our movement.
Congratulations yall!! 🎉🎉
20 days since we filed union authorization cards, and still @iheartSAM does not recognize our union. Please share and RT and fill out the form linked on our page. Tell SAM to allow their employees to unionize by voluntarily recognizing them
The Art Workers Union stands in solidarity with SAM Security and we call on the SAM administration to voluntarily recognize the VSO Union and a begin negotiating a fair contract @samvsounion
It’s been a while since you’ve heard from us. Here’s what we’re up to! Donate to our GoFundMe here: gofundme.com/f/solidarity-f… instagram.com/p/CL5L2YSFnnS/…

Love to see what the @samvsounion is accomplishing in their organizing -- and also pleased to see the shout-out for the @ArtWorkerUnion
Amid a growing wave of labor organizing in U.S. museums — and a flurry of high-profile union votes locally and nationally — a group of SAM security guards is pushing to form a union for better working conditions. bit.ly/38UgRl0

Probably a good time to reevaluate the way these museum directors are over-compensated & the need for 3-teir mgmt boss structures.
One-third of museum directors recently surveyed said there was a "significant risk" of permanently closing—or that they don't know if their institutions will survive. Respondents ranged from history and art museums to botanical gardens to science centers. trib.al/z0uiABT
The @tenementmuseum put out this press release about the layoffs with @NY1 today. Let’s talk about all the ways it gets the story wrong. ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…
For now, we're sad, we're angry, we're disappointed, and we're grateful for the solidarity of other workers, historians, teachers, and artists across the city and country who have supported our work thus far. Thank you all.
You'll be hearing more from us in the coming days about this. The @tenementmuseum will also be hearing more from us.
In a statement to @hyperallergic, Tenement Museum president Morris Vogel said that "Our educators make our programs come to life." He could have stopped five words into that sentence. hyperallergic.com/578201/tenemen…
To put this in perspective: if you went on a tour at the @tenementmuseum any time in the last year or so, there's about a 92% chance that the person who led that tour is now out of a job in the middle of the pandemic.
