Security guards from the United Voices of the World (UVW) union are set to strike at major London museums like the Science Museum, Natural History Museum, and V&A Museum throughout February. Approximately 100 security personnel, outsourced to Wilson James, demand better pay, sick leave, and parity with permanent staff. This unprecedented strike is the longest in the history of these institutions and highlights escalating worker discontent over treatment and compensation. The union has called for public solidarity by asking people to refrain from visiting the affected museums during the strike.
We have been ignored and treated with utter disdain for too long. We have been undermined but we do not undermine ourselves. We are strong, united and we will work hard to get justice.
The strike action is unprecedented and the longest strike in the history of all three institutions, reflecting the gravity of the workers' demands for better pay and conditions.
