Museums and Cultural Institutions

AFSCME represents more museum workers than any other union in both the public and private sector. We represent employees at the MET, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art L.A. (MOCA), Museum of Tolerance, the American Museum of Natural History, Milwaukee Public Museum, the Detroit Historical Society and many others across the country. AFSCME also represents members in botanical gardens, zoos, planetariums, science centers, and other cultural institutions. AFSCME stands strong behind museum workers fighting for better working conditions, pay, and scheduling.
