Stop derecognition at Imperial War Museum!

On March 6th 2024, the director of Imperial War Museums announced plans to derecognise PCS union.

This is an attack on the IWM workers' democratic choice to elect their union. And it will strip workers of their collective bargaining power. We cannot let these plans go ahead.

Together with their members, PCS are working to stop this from happening.

Can you write to Caro Howell, director-general at Imperial War Museums, to urge her to halt plans for derecognition and preserve workers' voices and rights?

Why is this important?

PCS has played a vital role in advocating for the rights and interests of employees at IWM for many years.

Derecognising PCS union could lead to worsened working conditions. It would not only strip employees of their collective bargaining power but also undermine the principles of democracy and representation in the workplace. 

80% of the workers voted for union recognition - IWM management's decision to derecognise two of the three unions in the workplace undermines the workers' freedom to choose which union they want to represent them. 

Union recognition is a vital right at work, enabling employees and employers to negotiate in the workplace, fairly and in good faith. That can't happen if the employer just decides to change the rules when it suits them.

The staff team at Imperial War Museum sites around the country have shown loyalty and dedication to their mission, enabling people to have an informed understanding of modern war and its impact on individuals and society. Please help them stand up for their important employment rights.
