End the Two Tier system at National Museums Liverpool! Support our campaign for union recognition and fair pay and conditions for staff at NML Trading.
Retail workers at the @V_and_A learned that for Christmas they’re getting their weekends taken away.
Should FOH museum workers get some weekends off to see their kids and get some rest, or should that be a privilege for people like @TristramHuntVA?
4/ NML Trading to provide redundancy compensation to ALL employees if redundancies go ahead, not just those who have more than 2 years service and guarantee a preferential re-employment scheme

3/ • NML Trading demonstrates they have explored ALL options to use the Covid government support schemes, including Job Support scheme, furlough options, and local lockdown support scheme to save as many jobs as possible

2/ We demand that:
• NML Trading immediately pause the redundancy process and engage in a collective consultation as required by law
• NML Trading recognises PCS union immediately for this collective consultation

"I've worked for @Tate in retail for past 3 years and am dismayed at the prospect of redundancies among my colleagues, catering, publishing and other areas. We work hard to not only make money for the Gallery but also to welcome and engage visitors."
#CultureinCrisis
"The considerable knowledge of the retail team members @Tate- on literature, design, print, products and art- will be thrown away as we are apparently considered ‘disposable’ and ‘unimportant’"
Tate Commerce member of staff
#CultureinCrisis#CultureVsCovid
"Despite @Tate’s statements on diversity (BLM being the latest example) it's clear, given there are no redundancies announced for gallery staff, that Tate will do nothing to actually support the lower paid, more diverse teams within the workforce"
#CultureinCrisis#CultureVsCovid
"Being told at first that the redundancy where due to there being no support from government for the art sector, and, once the support had been announced, to be told this didnt change anything, adds insult to injury"
@Tate Commerce member of staff
#CultureinCrisis#CulturevsCovid
"After four years of working at @Tate, to be told you are being made redundant in the middle of a pandemic and a possible economic downturn is both heart-breaking and terrifying."
Tate Commerce member of staff

"COVID was only the beginning. Threat of losing our jobs has been just as awful. What a great time to push through ideological restructure! I’m heartbroken. I love my job at @Tate, visitors & my colleagues. I work hard &thought I was valued. I was clearly wrong"
#CultureinCrisis
"Forget people that work in Tate shops &cafes, their livelihood, their rents, their mortgages, their plans for a better life, their families, their bereavements in the time of Covid & their despair: all you need to run @Tate is a bit of canvas & a heart of stone"
