By making all CHS lecturers reapply for their job the Royal College of Art is breaking agreements, union-busting, devaluing critical thinking and disregarding access, equity and inclusion. Please sign & share this letter of support and agree to boycott the RCA #boycottRCA bit.ly/3776TIP
This morning, visitors to the V&A are unable to see the ceramics and furniture collections. These galleries are closed due to short staffing.
This is *exactly* what we said would happen if FOH staff was cut to the bone.

What a result on our consultative ballot! On a 74% turnout, 89% of members said they would strike because of the Royal College of Art's plans to decrease job security, entrench casualisation & move to a rolling 12 month teaching model all of which will exacerbate systemic issues of inequality.

PCS Union demands:
• stop job cuts planned by private contractor ZE Global immediately
• Stop deskilling of our members
• Bring workers back in house asap
'The culture war over history isn't the only battle in Britain's museums, there's a fight over job security too – and at the V&A, the latest institution to plan layoffs, the two issues are joined at the hip.' Great article by Alice A. Procter

Victoria & Albert Museum: STOP THE CUTS AND ACCESS RESTRICTIONS AT THE NATIONAL ART LIBRARY (V&A) - Sign the Petition! chng.it/rX8yXrmV via Change.org UK
Tristram Hunt Laura Cumming V&A We said that the NAL will be closed for a year. You’ve just confirmed.
We’d be delighted to hear that the V&A is no longer proposing to make 20 members of staff redundant. Is that the case?
“Special Collections Study Room retained for scholars and researchers” per the proposal

The arts are in a state of crisis. 🎭
A Universal Basic Income would support art workers & protect our creative industries.
Tell Boris Johnson & Rishi Sunak that we need an #EmergencyUBI 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄.

Sathnam Sanghera Tristram Hunt V&A 1/ Why would any institution propose loaning back stolen property, rather than giving it back — permanently and unconditionally — when asked?
2/ If Tate Modern and the Southbank Centre need multi-faith prayer rooms, why doesn’t V and A East?

Thank you PCS Tate United!! Our struggles are one – arts institutions need to do more than lip service when it comes to social justice, that includes museums and galleries as well as schools! #UALEndHypocrisy #EndOutsourcing
