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

The government is making some ominous noises about which stories can or can't be told (in real life – this is *not* the setup to some dystopian show).

We want to find out what we can do about it…

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

🚨 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 🚨

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
