Unhappy guards plan 'welcome' for Art Museum chief

From the Inquirer...

On Sept. 6, a welcoming party will be held for Timothy Rub, new head of the Philadelphia Museum of Art - though he will not actually be there. He doesn't begin his tenure until Sept. 23, after finishing up as director of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
No matter. The gala will take place anyway, though not in the galleries of the temple at the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Chablis will not be poured. Canapes will not be passed.

This bash will unfold outside, on the museum steps, with the New York Rude Mechanical Orchestra providing entertainment and a number of the museum's security officers explaining the program's substance.

They want a union.

Student Labor Action Project

As Philadelphia students and youth we commit ourselves to the struggles of working class people in this city and to the fight against all forms of oppression including racism, sexism, and homophobia. We stand for equality, the rights of workers, justice, and democracy. We are against the corporatization of education and aim to make our universities fully accountable to the communities they were built to serve. We believe that direct action wins working class families better working conditions, affordable health care, paid sick days. SLAP provides dedicated student leaders with the skills and tools necessary to affect meaningful change for workers on our campuses and in our communities through trainings, events, and actions.
