Outsourced security guards at Natural History and Science museums ballot for strike action

OUTSOURCED security guards at the Natural History and Science museums are balloting for strike action after years of real-terms pay cuts.
The guards are among the lowest-paid workers at the museum, earning £11.95 per hour.
Members of the United Voices of the World (UVW) union are demanding a raise to £16 an hour and full sick pay starting from day one, instead of the current policy that begins on day four.
