Workers at Meow Wolf, an immersive tourist attraction, announced on Monday that they are organizing to form
a union with the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 7055.
Meow Wolf’s Radio Tave in Houston is a surreal radio station–themed art experience. Staff who are organizing to join Meow Wolf Workers Collective (MWWC-CWA) work across a number of departments, including guest services, tech, art and scenic, facilities, events, food and beverage service, and security. Their counterparts at four other Meow Wolf locations have already won union recognition.
“We are so excited and proud to be joining our fellow employees at the other Meow Wolf locations in forming a union. Me and my fellow organizing committee members have been working hard to get to this point, and it’s been a labor of love over the past few months,” said organizing committee member and bartender at Meow Wolf Houston’s Radio Tave Marleigh Flowers in a CWA press release. “We want to have a seat at the table when decisions that impact our day-to-day lives are being made and to be able to voice the concerns and issues that are important to us.”
“The workers at Meow Wolf’s Radio Tave location in Houston are carrying forward a momentum that has already brought change to Meow Wolf workplaces across the country,” said CWA District 7 Vice President Susie McAllister. “By standing together, they’re ensuring that the company lives up to its founding values and that the people who bring its art to life are treated with the fairness, dignity, and respect they deserve.”
