Tate United

This year, Tate Galleries embarked on a “cost-saving” restructure which included mass redundancies, the closure of staff canteens, and the scrapping subsidised meals in favour of vending machines. Here you can see some delicious fungus sandwiches available to Tate staff!

In case you didn’t know how out of touch the British Library is, here is a health and wellbeing newsletter they shared with staff advising them not to purchase gifts this Xmas season ! Perhaps the library could consider giving its workers a better pay award - just a suggestion!

"We cannot stand by and allow a management like this to inflict a pay cut" - @johnmcdonnellMP speaking at the Tate Britain Protest #PCSonStrike @Tate_United

What an incredible week of Pickets and Protest at The #Tate. To round it all off, we have #PCS Leadership: Fran Heathcote, General Secretary, and Martin Cavanagh, National President, letting our Tate strikers know the Union has their backs. #PCSonStrike #TatePayUp #TateBritain #TateModern #TateLiverpool #TateStIves #Solidarity @FranHeathcote @cavanagh4 @Tate_United

Proud to join PCS members at the Tate gallery taking industrial action against low pay & derisory pay offers. It is these staff who make the Tate a global cultural asset for which they deserve decent pay. @pcs_union

"My first time striking has been inspiring" - says a first time strike at the #Tate Gallery in London, one of the most expensive cities in the world, and where wages don't meet the cost of living. "As the creative placards being held by colleagues made clear, staff are struggling financially, and below-inflation pay rises are just not enough." #PCSonStrike Read more: pcs.org.uk/news-events/bl…

"What scumbags are they? They’re in there doing your job, when you’re fighting to get wages up for everybody else, they should be ashamed of themselves." - Eddie Dempsey, @RMTunion, General Secretary speaking on the PCS #TateBritain Picket line. #PCSonStrike #PCS
