Philly Cultural Workers United

What a year. Remember when we were just one chapter of unionized Philly cultural workers, PMA Union? With last week’s victory at Historical Society of Pennsylvania, we are SEVEN! Congratulations to everyone organizing with us, within our organizations and out in our communities, on what you’ve built.

2025 really was a year of non-stop organizing! We negotiated and won strong second contracts at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Penn Museum . . . enforced our first contract at Please Touch Museum . . . grew from four to seven chapters with overwhelming union victories at Fabric Workshop & Museum, Independence Seaport Museum, and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania . . . built power with Philly union siblings in the Coalition of Workers at Penn, @phillyaflcio and @afscmedc47 . . . continued negotiating a first contract at the Schulykill Center for Environmental Education . . . and started first contract negotiations at Fabric Workshop and Independence Seaport Museum . . . so what will we do in 2026? Can’t wait to find out with all you beautiful people : )
