Jun. 19—Employees of Denver's Meow Wolf Convergence Station have ratified a first union contract and have separately joined the Santa Fe-based Meow Wolf Workers Collective.
The Meow Wolf union is an affiliate of the Communications Workers of America. Denver Meow Wolf employees formally issued an intent to unionize in July 2022 and 70% of employees voted approval to join the union. Two bargaining units were formed for operations and security staff, union member Michael Wilson told The New Mexican.
The four-year contract provides increases in wages, more paid time off, layoff protections, union participation in hiring, clear and consistent scheduling, a better-regimented employee review process and institutes progressive discipline and grievance procedures, Wilson said.
Meow Wolf employees in Santa Fe unionized in 2020 with a contract ratified in April 2022, but the agreement didn't include Meow Wolf employees in Denver and Las Vegas, Nev.
Denver employees separately pursed their own union, which was quickly recognized by Meow Wolf with a contract ratified within a year.
Meow Wolf Denver has 247 employees with 180 as members of both bargaining units.
