Local 397 Stewards

Stewards are workers who volunteer to help keep their fellow union members connected and informed about union activities. Stewards help answer questions, welcome new staff to the union, and make sure everyone has all the union stickers and buttons they need. Stewards also play a role in making sure the terms of the contract are followed and enforced. If you aren’t sure what our contract says about something you’re experiencing at work, talk to a steward!

There are stewards across the entire PMA staff. To get connected to a steward, you can reach out to 397staff@dc47.org, or just say hi when you next see them at work! Our two lead steward is:

• Beth Paolini, Facilities & Operations (she/her)
  Beth is the museum seamstress and has worked at PMA for 18 years. She loves all things textiles and has two dogs and one cat. The cat is the boss of everyone.
