The union 'demands Glasgow councillors stand up for our museums'

Unions will hold protests outside two Glasgow museums — including the gallery hosting Banksy’s exhibition — over cuts which could see 37 jobs lost.

The union said 37 posts from a total of 128 are to be lost this year, with posts such as curators, conservators, technicians, learning assistants and collections staff affected. He added: “Wherever possible we have identified ways of making savings by reducing, rather than losing, Glasgow Life services, programmes and events; retaining the potential to rebuild them in the future.”

The union believes the cuts will “result in a loss of skills, knowledge, creativity and essential care” of Glasgow’s museums, leading to “diminished public experience, empty exhibition spaces and stagnant galleries”.
