LETTER OF SUPPORT

Please join PMWU in calling for election neutrality from Museum and University Management.

Penn Museum employees have a legal right not only to a union election, but to a fair election, free from employer interference.


We, the undersigned, are dismayed that Museum and University management are obstructing the free and fair election process through anti-union activity, including emails directly encouraging eligible staff to vote no and the spread of misleading information about the outcomes of unionizing.

​

We call on Museum and University management to maintain neutrality throughout the election process and to refrain from all anti-union activity—and we call on our peers to join us in solidarity with Penn Museum Workers United.
