More NG Strikes

Sir Nicholas Penny, the retiring Director of the National Gallery in London, has agreed that staff should receive the London living wage. The other good news is that PCS Union rep. Candy Udwin (shown) won an interim relief hearing at an employment tribunal last week and is back on the payroll. The judge ruled it was likely a full hearing would find she had been dismissed for Trade Union activities. Sir Nicholas will hear Candy’s appeal against dismissal on 2 July. However, he is still determined to push ahead with daft privatisation! So Gallery staff will strike for a further 10 days beginning from 20 June (CLICK).
