I wrote my arts column this week on how the Tate and Southbank, two institutions that espouse progressive values, are laying off hundreds of low-paid workers in the middle of a pandemic. When executives earn 6 figures, layoffs are an ideological choice.🎨✂️https://t.co/u91YOqFzzD
Hi @southbankcentre, how many people are you making redundant? How any of those are lower paid workers? How many are black or POC members of staff? How many are people with disabilities?
Huge love, gratitude and solidarity to the #BritishArtShow9#BAS9 artists for standing with Southbank Centre staff as we fight for our jobs and for the fairer art world we all deserve.
what's being proposed for the Southbank Centre, home of the National Poetry Library, is appalling – all poets and poetry readers must be in solidarity with the workers there 💜
Around 600 jobs are set to be axed across @Tate and @southbankcentre as financial fallout from coronavirus pandemic intensifies https://t.co/8v8bh1BN2M
Scathing words from @southbankcentre board member Nicola Benedetti "vested interests in the wrong areas ... a lack of care, a lack of leadership, disorganisation, just bad management." Who could she be referring to? 🧐https://t.co/l8BpLnDiOd #southbanksos
. @southbankcentre are proposing to restructure their artistic programming so that 90% of all cultural productions presented at the centre would be rentals rather than in-house productions. Here is why we think this is appalling. #southbanksos#saveoursouthbank#cultureincrisis
@garethspencer@PCS_Southbank@SouthbankSOS Horrified by the news from @southbankcentre. Visitor Experience is made up of so many long standing & loyal members of staff - it’s a diverse & brilliant team of people. Just appalling that staff aren’t even being offered full redundancies. Great article Gareth 💚
PCS is launching a consultative ballot on Monday (10) of our Southbank Centre members as the employer confirms it will not pay its normal redundancy terms, meaning hundreds of staff will lose out on thousands of pounds. https://t.co/pOgZTR7Jir
