Strike at Seattle Art Museum ends as visitor services staff ratify first contract

"Overall, it is a great win," Soto Ramirez says. "We stood together and won benefits back for ourselves while also restoring the pre-Covid retirement policy for everyone in the museum."

"This contract addresses the unique working conditions of VSOs and the important services they provide while maintaining our commitment to equity across the staff," Scott Stulen, the museum's director and chief executive, said in a statement.

"The union is proud of this success. After a long fight for this first contract, we kept our strength and focus," Soto Ramirez says. "The bargaining team worked hard for this deal and the members supported us".
