We were delighted to be joined by Eddie Dempsey from the @RMTunion on the picket line yesterday. Here is a short video of him explaining why a pay increase for British Library workers is possible despite management's claims!
Over 100 people on the @pcs_union picket at the British Library! #BritishLibraryOnStrike
Tomorrow, Monday 8th December, some 350 @pcs_union members will go on strike for 5 consecutive days over the British Library’s continued refusal to offer workers an RPI-linked pay rise and restoration from last year’s shortfall. See you on the picket line!
In case you didn’t know how out of touch the British Library is, here is a health and wellbeing newsletter they shared with staff advising them not to purchase gifts this Xmas season ! Perhaps the library could consider giving its workers a better pay award - just a suggestion!
