Dismantle Preservation Virtual Unconference: Building Union Power in Preservation

Preservationists need a different set of resources to be able to advocate for themselves, stories of the past, and the built environment.

In response to conversations with many of you, #DismantlePreservation Virtual Unconference will be a one day free event that will delve into mental health, unions/salary negotiations, public service loan forgiveness, implicit bias in preservation, preserving the full story, and how to expand who is investing in old buildings. Let’s dismantle historic preservation and rebuild it for the benefit of our communities today and tomorrow. The fourth talk of the Unconference will be: 

Building Union Power in Preservation

In this session attendees will learn about the experience of public and non-profit sector union workers, the benefits of unionization beyond higher wages, and how unionized cultural workers can build power to fight for a better world. 

Speakers: Derek Tulowitzky; TBA American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Organizers
