Series of strikes to be held at museums across Wales

A series of Easter strikes are to be held at museums in Wales in a long-running dispute over weekend working.

Members of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union will take action at the Big Pit National Coal Museum today, and the National Wool Museum in Drefach and National Waterfront Museum in Swansea tomorrow.

There will also be walkouts on Easter Sunday at the National Slate Museum in Llanberis and National History Museum in St Fagans, and strikes at the Big Pit museum and National Museum in Cardiff on Easter Monday.

The National Museum for Wales says it "regrets" that a number of museums will be affected by the action.
