Museum strikers greet new Senedd
Welsh Labour leader Jones told to honour pledge and intervene

THE Welsh Assembly reconvened yesterday amid a noisy protest by museum workers staging an all-out strike over a huge pay cut.

Workers from museums and cultural sites across Wales, including former miners who now work as guides at the Big Pit National Coal Museum, rallied on the steps of the Senedd as AMs took their seats for the first time since last week’s elections.

They called on Carwyn Jones to honour a pre-election pledge to personally intervene in the dispute if Labour held on to Cardiff Bay.
