Philadelphia has always been a city dominated by its waterfront commerce. But the workers who make that commerce possible have always had to fight hard for their fair share. In the midst of a strike covering the whole of the East Coast, Philly's dockworkers became a key player fighting against the bosses, courts, and even the President.

Sam and Gabe took a moment from the holidays to talk with Jessi Jones from the Academy Foundation, Emma Rose Rainville from the Esplanade Association, Adam Rizzo from the Penn Museum, and independent researcher Amanda Tobin Ripley about their recent work with Museums Moving Forward and the zine Museum Unions Enact Workplace Justice that they all co-authored with Josh Davis of the Seattle Art Museum.

The zine dives into how museum union contracts have improved equity and justice in the field, and hopes to provide inspiration for future unionists in how they can use their own contracts to improve the field even further.
