Welsh strikers in Liverpool

Welsh strikers with ARMS Merseyside
committee member, Tony Mulhearn
I visited the striking Museum workers from Wales at the Albert Dock gates who are in their third week of strike action. PCS Rep Elfyn Jones-Roberts told me that they had been taking other forms of action for the last two and a half years to force the Welsh Assembly to withdraw their bullying attacks on basic rights. Among other attacks they have targeted front of house staff with cuts in premium payment for weekend working as well as drastic cuts in manning levels.

Director David Anderson has adopted a truculent 'take or leave it' stance. The workers were outraged by this and voted for all out action in the face of this provocation. Elfyn said they have visited PCS sites around the city and received a tremendous response. The strikers are determined to stay out until they are victorious.
