 GUARANTEES FOR STAFF & CANDY UDWIN REINSTATED

We have won the best possible guarantees for those facing privatisation. This includes agreement that terms and conditions for those transferring can’t be changed without PCS agreement and that new starters are to have broadly comparable terms and conditions. There are also guarantees on union recognition, the Living Wage in future, staffing levels and rosters. We also got agreement for a review of the private contract after a year and an inquiry into what went wrong at the gallery.

FUTURE PLANS
* We plan to launch a national campaign with PCS and others to keep museums and galleries free, publicly funded and publicly run so please watch this space!
 * We hope that our success will help encourage others to do the same. Please support PCS Members at National Museum of Wales on strike again on 20 October
 * Kill the Bill Rally Tuesday 13 October 6pm Committee Room 10 Houses of Parliament with Mark Serwotka and others.
Rally at 5pm outside Parliament with Candy Udwin from PCS National Gallery
