英国维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆(V&A)原定于10月29日和30日学期假期间举行的罢工计划已被暂停,此前管理层提出了改进的薪酬方案 1。涉及此次行动的两个工会为Prospect和Public and Commercial Services (PCS),其成员曾因对薪资和工作条件不满而投票决定罢工 1。在等待与咨询、调解和仲裁服务处(Acas)进行会谈后,双方暂缓了罢工行动 1。
工会的主要诉求包括为高于生活工资的员工加薪4%,并在12个月内使V&A成为经认证的伦敦生活工资雇主 1。此外,工会还要求银行假日工作支付1.5倍薪资 1。针对这些诉求,V&A最新提出的报价显示平均加薪幅度为4.18%,最低薪员工加薪6.9%,同时将银行假日薪资提高至1.5倍,并包含奖金计划和补贴餐饮 1。目前,双方的建设性讨论仍在进行中,以寻求解决争端 1。
Prospect全国秘书Paula Lamont表示,工会将“本着诚意进入谈判” 1。然而,Prospect总书记Mike Clancy批评V&A馆长Tristram Hunt未亲自参与谈判是“对员工的蔑视” 1。作为背景信息,此前在9月已发生过两次为期两天的罢工 1。值得注意的是,当前伦敦生活工资标准为每小时£15.45 1。
Members of the Prospect and Public and Commercial Services (PCS) unions have suspended their planned strike at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), which was scheduled for Thursday, October 29, and Friday, October 30 1. The decision to halt industrial action during the half-term holiday followed management’s presentation of a revised pay proposal 1. This move occurred as both parties awaited discussions with the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) 1. The suspension follows two previous two-day strikes held in September, driven by dissatisfaction over salaries and working conditions among museum staff 1.
The unions’ key demands included a 4% pay rise for employees earning above the living wage, accreditation for the V&A as a London Living Wage employer within 12 months, and payment at 1.5 times salary for bank holiday work 1. In response, the V&A offered an average pay increase of 4.18%, with a 6.9% raise for the lowest-paid staff 1. The new offer also included enhanced bank holiday rates at 1.5 times salary, along with bonus schemes and subsidized meals 1. The current London Living Wage standard is set at £15.45 per hour 1.
Paula Lamont, National Secretary for Prospect, stated that the union would enter negotiations "in good faith" 1. However, Mike Clancy, General Secretary of Prospect, criticized V&A Director Tristram Hunt for failing to personally participate in the negotiations, describing the absence as a "contempt for staff" 1. Both parties are currently engaged in constructive discussions facilitated by Acas to seek a resolution to the dispute 1.
