Outsourced museum security guards to strike for fair pay
The Natural History Museum in central London
OUTSOURCED security guards at the Natural History and Science museums have overwhelmingly voted to strike, their union announced today.
The United Voices of the World (UVW) members are demanding a proper pay rise, having only been offered £13.15 an hour, which they described as “too little, too late” after years of real-terms pay cuts.
The security guards had been earning £11.95 per hour until this month, only 51p above the minimum wage.
