The edges of the flier say: SARDINES DON'T GIVE UP, THEY MAKE A PLAN! IF SARDINES TRY, SARDINES CAN!" The top center has a parody of the Monterey Bay Aquarium logo that instead of seaweed with large bits on top and trailing "leaves" towards the bottom of a circle, it has small fish uniting to keep the larger fish on the run. In a circle around it, it reads "Monterey Bay Aquarium Workers United". "Dear Monterey Bay Aquarium colleagues and community, As a collective of proud employees across departments at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, we are excited to announce our intention to form our union with AFSCME Council 57 and Cultural Workers United. We are the teams that care for our animals, create a welcoming community for all who engage with us, tell the Aquarium's stories, all with the goal of inspiring & conservation of the ocean. Just as the iconic sea otters are a vital part of a healthy and resilient ocean, we believe our employees, guests, and animals are a vital part of a healthy and resilient Aquarium. Inspired by our 40th anniversary milestone, we have united our voices to share this exciting movement. We want to create a future where the ocean flourishes and people genuinely thrive in a just and equitable world, and in consideration of previous unfulfilled efforts to enact change, we are forming this union. We want all of our colleagues to have the support of ADA accommodations, Title IX protections, and breaks according to labor laws. " continued in next toot.
