Three Glasgow venues remain closed today as museum workers take their third day of strike action over planned job cuts.
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Burrell Collection and Glasgow Museums Resource Centre are all shut. All other museums remain open.
Unison members have walked out for five days over Glasgow Life’s plan to cut 38 jobs in the museums and collections service. Glasgow Life, which runs culture and leisure services for the council, said it needs to make over £7m of savings after the council cut its service fee when setting a budget earlier this year.
“We will post further updates our website and social media channels, and our museums will reopen as normal on Saturday, October 28.Glasgow Life previously said the planned cuts, which “were approved by the council”, are “a direct consequence of the continued pressures on public sector finances”.
