UNISON sends solidarity greetings to National Gallery strikers

UNISON general secretary Dave Prentis extended solidarity greetings to strikers at the National Gallery today, as PCS members there began the latest stage of their struggle against privatisation

UNISON sent solidarity greetings to strikers at the National Gallery today, as they begin indefinite strike action in protest at privatisation plans.

“UNISON stands shoulder to shoulder with our fellow public service workers in dispute,” general secretary Dave Prentis said.

“We send our greetings and solidarity from 1.3m public service workers and wish you well with your action.”

The strike, which is organised by the civil service union PCS, is the latest in a series of actions since February in protest at management plans to outsource some visitor service roles to Securitas.
