Together we are powerful.
One Academy. One Union.
In recent years, employees at over twenty museums have unionized to collectively bargain for livable wages and improved working conditions. They join with many cultural institutions that have been unionized for decades. Here in the Bay Area, thousands of workers at over fifty nonprofit organizationsโincluding the de Young, Legion of Honor, Asian Art Museum, and the Exploratoriumโare unionized as members of SEIU 1021 and have successfully won contracts with better pay, benefits, job security, and working conditions. This is the union differenceโtogether, we can do the same.
