  1. Let's find common ground at the bargaining table
    “The museum does not have to agree to any demand.”
  2. How convenient!
    “We support unions, but we don't need one here!”
  3. There are other ways of organizing through collective action
    “The union may force you to go on strike.”
  4. The union is made up of a super majority of staff!
    “The union is a 3rd party.”
  5. We did! And we feel ignored!
    “Why didn’t you come to us first?"
  6. We are working together to improve the museum for all
    “The union will only cause tension.”
  7. Dues are 1-2%, we won't pay them until contract is ratified (w/ higher wages!)
    DUES
  8. This isn't true!
    “Union membership is on the decline.”
  9. Addressing our concerns will make the museum better
    “Unions are bad for our visitors”
  10. We want to improve conditions through bargaining
    “We’ll lose our flexibility because of rigid union rules.”
  11. Union-busting consultants cost $2,500/day
    "You're putting the Museum at risk"
  12. Why doesn't it feel that way?
    “We appreciate all the work you do.”
  13. We are exercising our right to organize to improve conditions here
    “We’re sorry.” or “Give us another chance.”
  14. We will vote on a contract before it goes into effect
    “The union can impose a contract without a vote.”
  15. Exactly!
    “Unprecedented times”
  16. Imagine how much better our benefits could be!
    "We offer very generous benefits"
  17. Threatening to take away our benefits is illegal
    “Fewer promotions”/ ”Fewer raises”
  18. Our union reps will advocate for us
    “With a union, you won’t be able to talk directly to managers anymore.”
  19. AFSCME represents the most museum workers in the country
    “Have you done your research?”
  20. Why haven't you been listening this whole time?
    “We’re listening.”
  21. We just want fair and sustainable jobs
    “With a union contract, you could gain things, but you could lose things, too.”
  22. :-)
    “We’re a family.”
  23. Then why do we feel ignored?
    “We have an open door policy.”
  24. Inflation was 7% this year
    "We have very high pay for the industry"
