Cop “unions” are white supremacist gangs, and cops aren’t workers. Kick them out of the labor movement
Remember how everyone contrasted the Marciano Art Foundation to @TheBroad a few months back? Now looks like both fired their entire visitor-facing staffs, and “real” museums have too. It’s almost like the millionaires and billionaires running these orgs have shared interests...

Staff at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles @NHMLA have come forward with an open letter about their museum’s response to #COVID19. The museum is closed and they say management is finding busywork, making staff come in amid a global pandemic. #CultureVsCovid #LockdownPay

As institutions like @metmuseum and @frickcollection close, I've asked museum reps to elaborate on payment and sick-leave for freelance, contract, and hourly workers through the foreseeable future.
now's as good a time as any to remind you to TIP SERVICE WORKERS as handsomely as you can afford to.
hey @AAMers can we get clarification bout this panel? why is the moderator from an anti-worker law-firm? what other perspectives will you bring to the table? why do you say employees "feel they are underpaid"? do you realize poverty wages aren't a matter of subjective experience?

Remember how everyone contrasted the Marciano Art Foundation to @TheBroad a few months back? Now looks like both fired their entire visitor-facing staffs, and “real” museums have too. It’s almost like the millionaires and billionaires running these orgs have shared interests...
49/ #Museumlayoffs in LA: @TheBroad announces 130 full-time and part-time staff to be laid off on Friday. Reporting from @cmonstah says most affected are visitor-facing. Curatorial staff and management will remain, with no plans for pay cuts... latimes.com/entertainment-…
As part of this story a Trader Joe's employee shared a photo of "Huddle Notes" used by managers when talking to staff. It includes anti-union talking points:
We were fired three days after asking for union recognition. This is morally reprehensible. We will fight this.

Wouldn’t it be sad if museums had to stop building shiny new expansions because all of their workers demanded a living wage? And then annual raises...😮😮😮 It would be so sad!! Pour one out tonight for those poor buildings y’all Happy Friday from @AMTransparency

2/ This is a moment for museum leaders to take decisive action. Show your workers you value them as humans, not just employees, and this can be an opportunity to serve your mission and build community trust. Do better @NHMLA.

Biden: -Helped get Thomas&Scalia on SupremeCourt. -Will veto m4a if congress approves -Locked kids in cages, more immigrants in cages than Trump -down 4 war as much as republicans -wants to cut social security -in bed w oil and natural gas corps Why is he “better than trump”?
And Bernie, please, we don't want Joe to be your friend. He's not a friend to the ppl, he's in the corporations' pocket. That oil bailout Trump is talking about? Joe will do it too. Had a friend from my younger days that started pimping. They'r not my friend anymore. Fuck Joe.
We've been told over and over that Medicare for All is "too radical." I think it's radical to have a health care system that leaves 87 million people uninsured or underinsured. I think it's radical that people can't afford to see a doctor during a pandemic.
Today we won our election in San Francisco! There are challenge ballots that need to be litigated in court. So unfortunately we must wait to find out the final decision. WE FUCKING WON!!!!!!
It seems very possible to us that @AAMers in accepting this workshop did not see it as anti-union and choose it because of its “neutral,” both-sides framing. But we hope that we, and the many others responding today, have made clear how false this framing is and always has been.
If workers only "feel" their wages are unlivable, why do so many museums & arts institutions have so many papers & panels on "power in the museum" & "creating a more equal work environment"?
AAM is to the museum field what Biden is to the Democratic Party 🙄 #museumunionsnow
hey @AAMers can we get clarification bout this panel? why is the moderator from an anti-worker law-firm? what other perspectives will you bring to the table? why do you say employees "feel they are underpaid"? do you realize poverty wages aren't a matter of subjective experience?
And we're back with our regularly scheduled programming! *clears throat* MUSEUMS ARE NOT NEUTRAL! *wild applause*audience members excitedly whispering "she's back!"*raucous applause continues*
