Take Action
To: Detroit Institute of Arts Strategy Team
As members of the community, we stand with and support the employees who are organizing their union, Detroit Institute of Arts Workers United.
The Detroit Institute of Arts is an important piece of the City of Detroit and has inspired generations to connect with art and build a stronger culture within the city and the world beyond it. We recognize the importance of your exhibits, features, and special programs, but also know that none of it would be possible without the dedicated and passionate individuals who work at your museum.
We believe in every worker’s legal right to organize their union, without fear of retaliation or interference from management. We call on the Detroit Institute of Arts management to maintain a safe and respectful environment in which staff may speak and advocate for their union. We also ask that, upon demonstration of majority support, you respect workers’ wishes by voluntarily recognizing their union. The employees at the Detroit Institute of Arts have a strong passion for the work they do and want a voice in the decisions that affect their lives, both at the Detroit Institute of Arts and at home.
By supporting your workers, you can truly achieve your shared vision of a welcoming town square in which the communities and the staff who serve them are heard, respected, and valued. The success of the Detroit Institute of Arts is tied directly to the individuals who work tirelessly to ensure its success, the workers. Together, you can make the DIA a place where our values are not just reflected on the walls, but in the workplace.
