Golden Boat Award for Serota
Tate Britain, London. Thu 25 May 2017
PCS members get together outside Chelsea school of art for their protest
at Tate Britain
THe pCS Cuutre Group were appalled when low paid workers were asked
to contribute to a leveing present of a boat
for director Nicolas Serota and decided to start an annual Golden
Boat Award with him as the first recipient
Grim Chip of of Poetry on the Picket Line (Chip
Hamer) had come along to perform in support
'A Boat? I can barely afford my rent!' . Many at the Tate are on or
near minimum wage, on zero hours contracts
employed with lousy conditions of service by Securicor - a cheapskate
move to save the Tate from giving its
staff proper pay and conditions. Staff from the EU are worried that
they may have to leave after Brexit.
They march to the staff entrance behind the banner 'Love Tate Hate
Low Pay'
and picket at the entrance where guests are coming to Nicolas Serota's
leaving party
which low paid staff who had been asked to contribute to his yacht
were not invited
