Dear Meow Wolf Board and Office of the CEOs,
As community stakeholders, we declare our support for the Meow Wolf Workers Collective’s effort to unionize and we want their collective voice to be heard. Workers have a stated mission of being all-in on Meow Wolf’s success while maintaining and uplifting its collective spirit.
The members of the Meow Wolf Workers Collective state that they intend to mobilize and strengthen Meow Wolf as an institution. They want to maintain Meow Wolf’s collective roots and give workers an independent voice in the deeply influential work that the company creates. We welcome this effort.
We furthermore urge Meow Wolf’s Board and Office of the CEOs to accord these workers the respect and dignity they deserve, and not to inhibit or attack their efforts. These workers are exercising their legal rights to free speech and association, with a focus on better serving their communities and fighting for diversity and inclusion. They have every right to join a union and to grow its membership. Any resource expended to prevent them from unionizing is money diverted from installations, fair compensation, or serving the community.
We believe that the Meow Wolf Workers Collective will help workers find their power on-the-job, guarantee the protections they need, and will ultimately keep Meow Wolf true to its radical roots. We stand with them as they seek to make their workplace and our community better.
