About this event

The Seattle Art Museum showcases art, inside and outside the museum, that publicly advocates for the rights of laborers.  However, behind closed doors, they refuse to offer a fair contract regarding that secures livable wages, health insurance, seniority, and retirement benefits for its Visitor Security Officers.

Although the SAM VSO Union only represents the SAM security officers, our organizing has already increased financial compensation for SAM employees across departments, and we aim to agree on a contract that sets a ubiquitous precedent for labor equity at SAM.

Due to stonewalling in negotiations, the SAM VSO Union has given SAM’s Board of Trustees a deadline of Nov 29 before we will withhold our labor and strike.

On November 19th, at 430pm SAM VSO Union, together with other community organizations, will hold a rally outside the museum's downtown location to show the museum's insulated board of trustees that the community is watching!
