OMCA, STOP BREAKING THE LAW — BARGAIN IN GOOD FAITH NOW
Oakland Museum of California
We, the workers and community supporters of the Oakland Museum of California, call on Museum leadership to end its unlawful and unethical delay tactics.
OMCA has refused to move forward on bargaining over wages and economic issues until employees agree to management’s position on who should or should not be allowed to be eligible for union membership. This is not only wrong, but also unlawful. Workers have been forced to file an Unfair Labor Practice charge against the Museum in order to compel management to follow the law.
The Museum’s behavior is in bad faith, and it disrespects both the staff who make the Museum thrive and the community that depends on OMCA as a cultural anchor.
We demand that OMCA’s leadership return to the bargaining table immediately and negotiate economics in good faith.

[Your Name]
Dear CEO and Leadership of the Oakland Museum of California,
We, the undersigned workers and community supporters, are deeply troubled by the Museum’s refusal to bargain over wages and economic issues until employees accept management’s position on so-called “contested positions.” This conduct is not only unjust — it is unlawful.
Your delay tactics have already forced workers to file an Unfair Labor Practice charge against the Museum to compel you to follow the law. That should never be necessary. Bargaining in good faith is not optional — it is a legal obligation.
By withholding economic negotiations, OMCA is acting in bad faith, harming the staff who keep the Museum running, and betraying the trust of the community who values OMCA as a cultural anchor.
We call on OMCA leadership to do the right thing: stop the unlawful stalling and return to the bargaining table immediately to negotiate in good faith over economic issues.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
