Museum workers strike over changes to weekend pay

Six of Wales' national museums are facing disruption this weekend as staff strike in a dispute over changes to pay.

Six of National Museum Wales' sites have been affected, with Swansea's National Waterfront Museum, the National Slate Museum in Llanberis and the National Wool Museum, Dre-fach Felindre, closed on Saturday.

St Fagans National History Museum and National Museum Cardiff are open Saturday but with limited services.

Neil Harrison, PCS branch chair at National Museum Wales, said plans to stop extra weekend payments would cost its lowest-paid members up to £3,000 a year.
