Top London museums’ security staff vote to strike
Security guards at some London museums are to stage a month-long strike in an escalating dispute over pay and conditions.
About 100 members of the United Voices of the World (UVW) union based at the Science Museum, Natural History Museum and V&A Museum will walk out for the whole of February.
The union said the action was unprecedented and would make it the longest strike in the history of all three institutions.
A spokesperson for Wilson James, the contractor which employs the security guards on behalf of the museums, said it was seeking a resolution that “balances fair pay with the need to remain financially responsible”.
