We would say weekend reading but better advice would be to read it during your working hours whatever they might be!

Next Wednesday we'll be Museums + Heritage Show & Awards! Come along to our stall to ask your questions about fair jobs and fair work, or our networking session with Living Wage Foundation!

Oh British Museum. Why are you like this?

It's great that 3/5 of the nominees this year pay real living wage (according to Living Wage Foundation)

Last years winner was making staff cuts even while in the running to win. Why is ethical workforce treatment not a key criteria for #MuseumOfTheYear ?

Who else has had this?

Just going to have a little sit in a dark room and think about this depressingly accurate report Museum as Muck Fair Museum Jobs

Really interesting article by Tanya Hawkes for RadHR on making sure workplaces are welcoming to working class people. Many employers could learn from this! And should be a demand from our unions

What an absolute joy to be nominated for this!

Of course, we shouldn't have to campaign because museums should all pay Living Wage Foundation rates! But we'll keep talking about when they don't until they do!

National Minimum Wage rose to £11.44ph on 1st April this year, and Real Living Wage is £12ph.

Pleased to see this positive response from Heritage Trust Network

Hi Brighton Museums

Nothing about this role suggests freelance except you saying it is. £15p/h and people will have to pay their own tax and national experience? That is simply not enough - gives a day rate of £120 which is not acceptable.
