Museum dispute continues as union digs in over pay
Yorkshire Evening Post
|August 30, 2025
Trade union UNISON has said the ongoing strike at the National Coal Mining Museum in Wakefield could be settled for “a fraction of the cost managers are spending to block a fair pay rise”.
-
The union estimates that by the end of a four-week walkout, bosses will have paid up to five times more than the requested increase.
More than 40 members of staff began their industrial action last week in a dispute over pay, with the strike due to run until at least September 14.
