Low Pay at New Museum!

20/7/2011

Visitors to the opening of the new Liverpool Museum were greeted by a union demonstration against low pay.

A third of museum staff earn less than £15,000 per year and most cleaners have to survive on £450 per month. Last year's public sector wage freeze actually contained an exception to allow a small increase to these workers but Liverpool museum has not paid up.

Their union PCS will soon be balloting for industrial action, but in the meantime all support is welcome. The new museum claims to want 'feedback' on the new building. Try asking for a wage rise for the people who work there!
