Workers at three Victoria and Albert museum locations in London are set to strike on September 4 and 5 due to concerns over pay, health and safety, and working conditions. The Public and Commercial Services union reported a 95% vote in favor of industrial action, although the exact number of striking workers has not been disclosed.
The V&A has stated that it has been in negotiations with the unions since February and claims to have met many demands, including a pay rise above inflation. The museum emphasizes its commitment to staff welfare and safety measures during heatwaves.
