"They are livid at yet another insulting pay offer that does little to alleviate the health problems that many suffer from because of low pay. Nor does it come close to ending the need for many to work second jobs and take out loans to pay their bills and meet their housing costs."
"All staff would receive a minimum of a consolidated increase of 2.4% or 800 - whichever is the higher."
"Separately, a restructure of senior management is under way, however, details of this process remain confidential while those who are affected are consulted."
Over 300 Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union members at the British Library will strike from 27 October to 9 November after 98% voted for industrial action. Workers cite a second consecutive year of below-inflation pay rises and say offers do not address health impacts, the need for second jobs, or loan-taking to cover bills and housing. The British Library has offered a 3% pay increase for 2025/26, weighted toward lower pay bands, with a minimum consolidated rise of 2.4% or 800, whichever is higher. A senior management restructure is under way and over 100 PCS members at Tate Galleries face a separate ballot.
