I wrote my arts column this week on how the Tate and Southbank, two institutions that espouse progressive values, are laying off hundreds of low-paid workers in the middle of a pandemic. When executives earn 6 figures, layoffs are an ideological choice.🎨✂️independent.co.uk/arts-enter…

As executives retain their comfortable salaries and annual bonuses, London’s biggest arts centres continue with their brutal lay-offs of staff. It’s a scene that our columnist Micha Frazer-Carroll is...

Hi @southbankcentre, how many people are you making redundant? How any of those are lower paid workers? How many are black or POC members of staff? How many are people with disabilities?

Read just one of the real life consequences of @southbankcentre’s betrayal of its staff and it’s own redundancy policy. #southbanksos #artsincrisis

what's being proposed for the Southbank Centre, home of the National Poetry Library, is appalling – all poets and poetry readers must be in solidarity with the workers there 💜

Scathing words from @southbankcentre board member Nicola Benedetti "vested interests in the wrong areas ... a lack of care, a lack of leadership, disorganisation, just bad management." Who could she be referring to? 🧐planetradio.co.uk/scala-radi… #southbanksos

. @southbankcentre are proposing to restructure their artistic programming so that 90% of all cultural productions presented at the centre would be rentals rather than in-house productions. Here is why we think this is appalling. #southbanksos #saveoursouthbank #cultureincrisis

Replying to @garethspencer @PCS_Southbank @SouthbankSOS
Horrified by the news from @southbankcentre. Visitor Experience is made up of so many long standing & loyal members of staff - it’s a diverse & brilliant team of people. Just appalling that staff aren’t even being offered full redundancies. Great article Gareth 💚

PCS is launching a consultative ballot on Monday (10) of our Southbank Centre members as the employer confirms it will not pay its normal redundancy terms, meaning hundreds of staff will lose out on thousands of pounds. pcs.org.uk/scballot
