The strikers are demanding a minimum 4 per cent pay rise, time and a half for Bank Holiday working, and London Living Wage accreditation.

Why it matters
The industrial action reflects broader concerns among public sector workers regarding pay erosion and the cost of living in London. Strikers argue that the culture sector must address these issues to prevent staff from leaving the industry.
