A trade union has warned industrial action by staff in Glasgow’s museums is “almost inevitable” as protests against job cuts continue.
UNISON members gathered outside the city chambers ahead of a meeting of the council’s administration committee to call for planned savings to be reversed.
Curators, conservators, technicians, learning assistants and collections staff are expected to be affected. He added: “These people are the folk who develop, look after, set up the displays within the museums. Everything you see, enjoy and interact with in the museums is what they do. UNISON is campaigning for more national funding to be provided to Glasgow’s museums. “We’ve got these national assets, national museums and sports facilities, that are not funded by the Scottish Government,” Mr Smith said. “People in the suburban areas, not in the council tax base, are not making any contribution, but these are national assets. These aren’t Glasgow museums in that sense, and we want the Scottish Government to take responsibility for that.
