Strike Type: GOV
Latest Updates (2)
- More than 150 PCS members in the British Museum's visitor services and security teams will go on strike from 11th to 16th July to demand a cost of living payment of £1,500 and fair pay, among other issues.
- The British Museum is currently refusing to pay the non-consolidated £1,500 lump sum recommended by the UK government.
- In a meeting on 6th July, the employer refused to improve their pay offer, leading to the decision to proceed with industrial action.
- In a national re-ballot in May, British Museum members voted 86% in favor of strike action.
- The strike action is likely to cause significant disruptions for the museum during a peak summer month.
- Our targeted strike action began in November last year and members in a number of employers have taken part, including the Home Office, Border Force, Department for Transport and Defra.
- The action at the British Museum will follow the national strike on 1 February. For the days that they are on strike for this targeted strike action MEMBERS WILL RECEIVE STRIKE PAY AT THEIR NORMAL FULL RATE OF PAY FROM PCS.
- Your local PCS reps will be in touch with you shortly about members' meetings and picket lines and will be able to help with any questions you may have.
