Following weeks on the picket line, members of the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s first union have ratified their first contract, which guarantees pay raises, paid parental leave and cheaper health care.
The new contract guarantees a 14% raise over three years and a minimum wage that rises from $15 an hour to $16.75 an hour, according to the union. Among other accomplishments, the union said the contract also provides four weeks of paid parental leave – up from none previously – and reduces the cost of the health care plan that most members are on by more than 50%.
“We are proud of our historic strike. We are proud of our strength, our unity, our resolve. We picketed for days in torrential rain, our footwear stayed wet, our signs soaked through, while management refused to move. We held the line. We were not broken,” the union tweeted, thanking Philadelphia residents for their support.This article tagged under:

The History of Ford's F-Series Pickup Truck, from the Model TT to TodayThe Model TT truck launches in July 1917, nine years after the Model T puts America on wheels. It combines the T's cab and engine with a sturdier frame. It has a one-ton payload and accommodates numerous third-party pickup-bed configurations. Ford sells 2019 units in the model's first year, charging customers $600 apiece. A version of the Model T with a pickup body joins the TT in 1925, marking the dawn of the factory-assembled Ford pickup truck. In 1928, little more than a decade after the truck's debut, Ford put 1.3 million customers into Model TT trucks. The Model AA and BB trucks that follow continue on a similar path of success.
