The weekslong worker strike at the Philadelphia Museum of Art is over.
On Monday at 8 a.m., employees entered the Philadelphia Museum of Art back on the job after the 19-day walkout.The deal was ratified on Sunday night by 99% of the union.The strike began last month.Local 397 represents roughly 180 employees: curators, conservators, workers in visitors services, and across most departments.
"We knew we were in for long one because it took two years just to get to that point to decide to have to do that," noted Michael Gibbons, an installation technician, as he reported to work on Monday. "I think it really establishes a way for folks to be rewarded for their commitment to the institution, but hopefully will help with retention of staff," said Adam Rizzo, museum educator and union president."I know other cultural institutions across the country were watching really closely what happened, so I think this will have ripple effects, and I'm really proud of that," said Rizzo.
