V&A Storehouse Staff Prepare to Strike | London News

V&A staff at its new east London Storehouse are preparing to strike after a near-unanimous vote, citing unbearable working conditions—especially the lack of paid breaks for basic needs like restroom use or hydration. This local dispute is part of a broader campaign across V&A sites demanding fair pay, living wage accreditation, and improved conditions, with workers frustrated that their reasonable requests have been ignored despite being hired from the local community. Union leaders liken the situation to practices in low-reputation companies, shocking given the museum’s global stature, while V&A insists all facilities are provided—staff say otherwise.
