Unionize...hum. I'll have to think that one over. However, I
believe that we are all on to something important, and that is
that we are beginning to ask questions. One person asked how we
can pull together. I think one way we can pull together is to
begin to gently but firmly put pressure on museums to raise wages.
It's going to be a slow process, but we can all take part by
simply making our opinions known. Next time you see a position
announced with a low wage offered, why not pick up the phone or
write a letter asking the director or board to please make an
effort to raise the salary? Just think, if a director got 100
such letters (all politely written), it just might cause them to
look at the issue and take action.
