"Scarlett DeLorme, who started at the museum in May 2022, echoes those same concerns around safety while pointing out that low wages are a major issue. She tells In These Times that while most of her co-workers want and expect a lifelong career in the museum field, the workplace experiences a lot of turnover because of mismanagement and lack of advancement. “[Workers] love what they do, they really love educating and working with children, and it feels like management is making this a hard place to do that in,” she says. Many make between $15 and $18 an hour, an issue DeLorme hopes to address during contract negotiations, because ​“it’s not getting cheaper to live here, and a lot of us do other work on the side.”
..

While these workers are, for the most part, highly educated, many are also in debt from that education, and barely scraping by thanks to low wages. As DeLorme says of organizing the PTM, ​“We really did this because we care a lot about each other, and we care a lot about the institution. We want to stay here, but we need money to do that.”"

In Philadelphia and across the country, the movement to organize cultural workers just keeps growing.
