London, 19/01/2015. Today, members of the PCS (Public and Commercial Services Union) Union, Artists' Assembly, SERTUC, Equity, and National Gallery workers protested against the decision taken in July by the board of the National Gallery to privatise two-third of the staff (up to 400 of its 600 workers including those who look after security of the paintings, deal with the public and requests for information about the collection, complaints, school bookings and more) working for the iconic London museum in Trafalgar Square. From the organisers Facebook page: <<[…] On 19 January a private company CIS will be brought in to take over the services in a third of the National Gallery without consultation or tendering. CIS staff are told it is not their job to give information to the public about the paintings on show in the gallery! […] >>.
