Workers at the Please Touch Museum filed paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board, seeking to form a union. Museum management said Friday that they support the workers' right to advocate for themselves.Workers at Philadelphia’s Please Touch Museum have gone public with their plans to form a union, following in the footsteps of workers at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
“Seeing what the PMA was able to do, what it showed us most of all is no matter how old an institution is, there’s always room for improvement in all facets,” Ghorpadey, 23, said. “That gave us the hope and drive to start this process for ourselves.”The workers must hold an election on whether to form a union before they can bargain on a contract with the museum.
Please Touch workers seeking to unionize are aiming to improve pay, benefits and paid-time-off benefits, as well as onboarding, scheduling, training and promotion processes. Their mission also demands a safe and inclusive workplace with accountability for instances of discrimination and harassment. Please Touch Museum is a nonprofit with a mission to “change a child’s life as they discover the power of learning through play.”
