Workers at the Victoria and Albert (V&A) museum, one of the world's leading art and design institutions, are holding a ballot to strike over disputes regarding pay and working conditions during heatwaves. The industrial action is being organized amid staff concerns regarding soaring temperatures inside the museum and access to basic provisions while on duty.
As part of the dispute, the union representing the staff is calling on museum management to become an accredited London Living Wage employer. Additionally, workers are demanding policy changes that would allow staff to carry water with them while working their shifts.
