STAFF at the National Gallery voted to go on strike yesterday in a row over the privatisation of services.
The Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) said its members at the gallery, in Trafalgar Square, London, backed walkouts by more than nine to one.
The union warned that “extended periods” of industrial action were now likely because of opposition to privatising services such as security.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: “With this vote, staff are telling their managers loudly and clearly they do not want to work for a private security firm, they want to carry on working for the National Gallery.
“This reckless sell-off plan risks damaging the worldwide reputation of what is one of the UK’s greatest cultural assets and we are determined to stop it.”
