AFSCME Cultural Workers United is leading the largest organizing movement for cultural workers across the country. We represent 42,000 cultural workers at museums, zoos, libraries and other cultural institutions, more than any other union.

Our members provide vital services that keep America’s cultural institutions running. We are curators, library assistants, security officers, zookeepers, conservators, facilities workers, educators and so much more.  

Our movement includes employees from the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures,  the Art Institute of Chicago, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, the MET, the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art in L.A. (MOCA) and many others across the country. Click here to see a list of more cultural workers we represent.
