Email your MP about the CIS security guards dispute at National Gallery
PCS members and supporters are asked to use this e-action to write to their MPs requesting they support the PCS campaign for fair pay and decent conditions for CIS Security Guards at the National Gallery.
The National Gallery is a living wage accredited employer. However, directly employed staff receive a London Living Wage uplift 6 months before our members working for CIS Security do. Our members work side by side everyday with directly employed National Gallery staff. There’s no reason they should spend 6 months earning less than the living wage.
Security Guards are forced to use dangerous basement facilities for their breaks, when the majority white gallery staff have access to an award-winning ‘accommodation hub’. Instead, our members are restricted to a windowless basement area that is dingy, dirty, and dark. It is also unventilated and accessible only by ducking under pipes.
Please take two minutes to email your MP by completing the e-action today.
