"After four years of working at Tate, to be told you are being made redundant in the middle of a pandemic and a possible economic downturn is both heart-breaking and terrifying." Tate Commerce member of staff #CultureinCrisis #CultureVsCovid Guardian culture

"Being told at first that the redundancy where due to there being no support from government for the art sector, and, once the support had been announced, to be told this didnt change anything, adds insult to injury" Tate Commerce member of staff #CultureinCrisis #CulturevsCovid

"Despite Tate’s statements on diversity (BLM being the latest example) it's clear, given there are no redundancies announced for gallery staff, that Tate will do nothing to actually support the lower paid, more diverse teams within the workforce" #CultureinCrisis #CultureVsCovid

"The considerable knowledge of the retail team members Tate- on literature, design, print, products and art- will be thrown away as we are apparently considered ‘disposable’ and ‘unimportant’" Tate Commerce member of staff #CultureinCrisis #CultureVsCovid

"I've worked for Tate in retail for past 3 years and am dismayed at the prospect of redundancies among my colleagues, catering, publishing and other areas. We work hard to not only make money for the Gallery but also to welcome and engage visitors." #CultureinCrisis

Retail workers at the V&A learned that for Christmas they’re getting their weekends taken away. Should FOH museum workers get some weekends off to see their kids and get some rest, or should that be a privilege for people like Tristram Hunt?
