Staff at V&A site in London vote to strike over toilet and water breaks

Union calling for two paid breaks a day in what it says is punishing schedule for Storehouse ‘order an object’ workers

Staff at the V&A’s Storehouse site in east London have voted overwhelmingly to strike in a dispute over what they say are inadequate toilet and hydration breaks.

They will join staff across V&A sites in London who on Wednesday also voted to strike in a wider dispute over pay, working conditions, and the museum having declined to seek living wage accreditation.
