Support Inclusive and Equitable Treatment of Frontline Staff
Mary Ceruti, Executive Director, Walker Art Center
Please support our call for Walker Art Center management to foster an inclusive and equitable work environment, particularly regarding the treatment of frontline staff. We demand that they remove the inhibitory gallery stool policy and restore Gallery Assistants' access to gallery stools.
We emphasize the importance of transparency, collaboration, and respect in addressing concerns and finding solutions that prioritize the well-being and autonomy of all employees.
We call on our Executive Director's support in championing these principles to ensure a sustainable workplace culture, ensuring that frontline staff are equipped with the necessary resources they need to ensure their health and safety.
Please sign our petition and join us in our efforts to restore Gallery Assistants' access to stools.

[Your Name]
As the Executive Director of the esteemed Walker Art Center, you oversee a vibrant community centered around creativity and inclusivity. We commend the commitment to diversity and equity reflected in programming and DEIA initiatives.
Recent decisions by management, including changes to physical requirements of the job, hours reductions, and shortened breaks, have raised concerns among frontline workers. These decisions highlight the need for open and transparent communication between staff and management.
Despite efforts to engage in dialogue, transparency remains elusive, hindering progress towards resolution. We believe that prioritizing open communication and collaboration between frontline staff and management is crucial to upholding our values of inclusivity and fairness. By ensuring everyone's voices are heard, we can work towards solutions that benefit both our staff and the institution.
We urge your support in establishing a consistent standard of care for frontline workers, including unhindered access to gallery stools and a collaborative work environment.
Your advocacy for these principles will not only uphold the integrity of our institution but also enhance the quality of service provided to our visitors.
Signed,
Walker Workers Union
