Tough news from Snøhetta, but the fight for a more equitable profession isn’t over. All love and solidarity to the workers.

This is enraging and disappointing on so many levels. Architecture needs not to look for different genius stars but rather dismantle the notion that idolized individuals design and build anything at all on their own. ft.com/content/1a03a13c-a0b3…

Workers at the prominent architecture and design firm Snohetta have just filed for a union election. Would be a huge step forward in unionizing the industry. xitter.cf/arch_workers_u/status/…
We stand in solidarity and joy with the workers at Snohetta’s U.S. studios who have filed for a union election! All workers deserve the agency & protection that a union affords. We celebrate the architects, landscape architects, designers & operations staff organizing at Snohetta
As a democratic, member-driven organization, we are eager to continue supporting architectural workers everywhere seeking solidarity & organizing tools in order to spread these efforts. Join us at architecture-lobby.org/get-i… or reach out to [email protected] to learn more

I think this captures really well what a lot of people misunderstand about labor organizing.
People don’t unionize because they hate their jobs and want to get out of them. They unionize because they find value in their work and want to do it well, to do it safely & sustainably.

"We all like architecture and want to be architects, so we would like that to be possible."
Amazing look inside the only private sector union of architectural workers in the U.S.

Architecture and Planning faculty join calls for UMich to stop suing us in court and just pay us a living wage. “We also stand by all members of our college who withhold grades and we will collectively and strenuously oppose any effort to sanction instructors who have done so.”

This is leadership
tfw Linh Song just donated an an entire GSI salary to our strike fund 💜
Thank you SO MUCH @lsong !
ALT Screenshot from givebutter of Linh Song's $25,000 donation. She writes, "I’m donating my City Council salary as this aligns with my commitment to donate my annual salary to housing related programs. Fair wages, affordable housing, and cost of living are all issues that elected officials and administrators influence. We can do better."
