Workers from 8 Bay Area museums rally outside California Association of Museums Conference in SF, demanding collaboration & livable wages
In the face of mounting attacks from the highest levels of power, staff from the region’s most prominent museums are urging their directors to settle fair contracts and share power to save these institutions for future generations.
Workers from museums from around the Bay Area — including Cal Academy of Sciences, Asian Art Museum, Exploratorium, de Young, Legion of Honor, SFMOMA, Oakland Museum of California, and Bay Area Discovery Museum — dressed for dinner and gathered outside the California Association of Museums Conference ahead of its Director’s Dinner on Wednesday, February 19. They are not directors and were not invited to the dinner — but they are nonetheless demanding their place at the proverbial table as partners.

Exploratorium workers showcase their collective power in their fight for a new contract
Congratulations to Exploratorium members who recently ratified a new contract! Management opened negotiations by giving a presentation projecting a five to seven million dollar deficit, but members made it clear that they won’t let the boss balance the budget on their backs.
They instead got organized and brought the fight from the bargaining table to the shop floor to showcase their unity — and it paid off.
Despite COVID-19’s challenges, Exploratorium members use their unity to protect workplace standards and vulnerable coworkers
When it came time to negotiate a new agreement at the Exploratorium, members knew they had a challenge ahead. Early in the pandemic, management had already laid off some staff members and so preserving stability was a huge priority for their team.
