Jewish Museum Union

Mission Statement

The Jewish Museum is a unique organization dedicated to open dialogue and free expression, historically located at the intersections of art and cultural heritage. We, the Jewish Museum Union, proudly uphold these values and are organizing to advocate for greater equity and transparency. Our goal is to create a workplace built upon communication, respect, and integrity, where staff are involved in setting the terms of employment and are allowed to sustainably grow their careers. In keeping with our love of the Jewish Museum’s exhibitions, collection, and rich history, the staff is eager to realize a fairer, more inclusive, and more diverse workplace. We believe that collective bargaining with leadership can achieve these goals and strengthen our institution. Together we can move toward a better future for the Museum, creating a vibrant community in which everyone has the resources, opportunities, and support they need to thrive and collectively work toward a more equitable world.
