Another NG Strike

If you were thinking of visiting the National Gallery in London, be warned that members of the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) will be on strike from 24 February for five days. This will be the second five-day strike this month. The Gallery's intransigence hasn't helped the situation. It suspended union rep Candy Udwin, who was in talks at the conciliation service ACAS, on the eve of the last strike. Privatisation, paying the London living wage and sacking 400 staff are key issues. I can't help wondering what the private company has promised gallery director Nicholas Penny to make its deal seem viable (CLICK).
