Overview
- PCS reported an 87.72% turnout in the ballot covering staff at Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives.
- Industrial action is scheduled for 26 November to 2 December following rejection of a 2–3% pay offer.
- Union demands include reinstating cut benefits such as a staff canteen and subsidised meals alongside a pay rise above inflation.
- Tate says directors will take a zero percent increase and notes that two of the three unions representing staff accepted the offer.
- Disruption to gallery operations is expected, including potential impact on the Turner and Constable show opening the day after strikes begin, though Tate says it will work to keep exhibitions open.
