Natural History and Science museum workers are balloting on whether to start industrial action next month.
Security guards at London's Science and Natural History museums are threatening to strike over what they describe as a “disrespectful and demoralising” pay offer, their union has said.The United Voices of the World union said the latest offer of £13.15 an hour by their employer, security contractor Wilson James, was “too little, too late”.
Science Museum security guard Catherine Campbell said: “I feel demoralised and sad that I’ve not had a proper pay rise. Her colleague Bayo Owolabi said: "The rising cost of rent, energy, groceries, and transport has made it hard to make ends meet.” Mr Elia said the museums’ decision to outsource its security work made guards feel like “second-class workers” and he is calling for the service to be brought back in house.
