Today the workers at #MeowWolf 's The Real Unreal in Grapevine, Texas have gone on strike in response to mounting Unfair Labor Practices.

By forming this union and joining with our fellow shrimps of the MWWC, we work to create the best environment and workplace for everyone.

It is our belief that workplace democracy will ensure the best possible experience for workers, management, as well as our guests, and help Radio Tave continue to thrive as a premier Houston attraction...

This is not an attack on our employers but instead an opportunity to codify, communicate, and bargain for the things we require. We hope to move forward in collaboration with management to ensure employee protections, pay equity, straightforward communications, diverse workplaces, and more...

We are the backbone of Radio Tave, the people who keep it running in front and behind the scenes. Without us, there is no Meow Wolf. We ask for acknowledgement of this fact and the ability to be at the table, presenting our needs and wants as the people who make Meow Wolf possible...

We, the workers of Meow Wolf Radio Tave, in solidarity with our fellow artists and peers, have formed a union to join the Meow Wolf Workers Collective (MWWC) / CWA Local 7055...

The workers of @meowwolf.com Radio Tave have announced they will join the MWWC!

This Day in Labor History: July 6, 1968. The first Chicago bus drivers’ wildcat strike of that summer ended, a key moment to discuss the relationship between Black Power, the workplace, and racial issues within union locals in the late 1960s!!!

...This is a great opportunity for a reset on leadership and employee relations at MW. Especially as we start to look at contract negotiations coming up in 2026.

We look forward to working with Interim CEO Rebecca Campbell to resolve outstanding issues and lay the foundations for the future

Today, #MeowWolf CEO Jose Tolosa announced that he is stepping down. We wish Jose the best in his next endeavors...

Image of the following text: This is a sad day for Meow Wolf workers and fans. We need to break this cycle. It’s time for company-wide change that focuses on the people who make Meow Wolf what it is. We must return to our creative roots and focus on the people who make Meow Wolf what it is. We must remember that WE build worlds together. Meow Wolf is more than IP. It is the people who make these things. And it is the people who enjoy them. We would like to acknowledge the executives who have been willing to work with the union to lower the number of unionized workers who were laid off. They see that Meow Wolf is its people as well as its products, and that the creative force of Meow Wolf does not reside in executives or one single individual’s supposed “vision.” We look forward to continuing to work together moving forward. The legacy of Meow Wolf and its fans deserve better. This is a shout in the storm of unrestrained capitalist nonsense. We can do this a different way. MWWC

We sent a Petition of No Confidence in CEO Jose Tolosa to the Meow Wolf Board of Directors. This collective effort of union and non-union employees began on 11/24.

We are now inviting fans and friends to sign and share the petition. Link below.

Organize.
Mobilize.
Build Worker Power.

Double 😯. It's the second layoff this year! The third under current leadership.

On Monday, December 2nd, Meow Wolf held meetings where they announced an open invitation for any employee to agree to voluntarily leave the company. It was made clear in these meetings that following the volunteer separations, further layoffs will occur on December 12th. Meow Wolf Workers Collective challenges leadership with the following: 1. Hold leadership (CEO, CSuite, etc.) accountable for the decisions made that got the company here by reducing the number of VPs and executive level positions at Meow Wolf. 2. Honor all aspects of all union contracts and normalize relations with the union, including swiftly recognizing new exhibitions and Creative Directors into the union. 3. Move away from the contractor-focused model that we currently rely on and prioritize the needs of full time employees, including utilizing employees’ institutional knowledge, promoting from within, and rolling out well-defined career ladders for all teams. 4. Prioritize guest safety in our exhibitions by increasing the number of staff on the floor. Several guests have been forced to call emergency services to get medical aid because, following a round of layoffs earlier this year, our exhibitions are now chronically understaffed, leaving our spaces unsafe and poorly maintained. Increase staffing and resources at exhibits now. To the Board of Directors, we ask that you hold Jose Tolosa and other leadership accountable for the decisions that have put Meow Wolf in our current precarious position. The workers at the bottom should not be the tool to “fix” decisions at the top. It is especially despicable at this time of year. Meow Wolf deserves better and our guests deserve better. MWWC
