## Resource

Over 300 V&A museum workers in London are voting on strike action over unpaid heat-related risks and pay gaps — demanding gallery closures at 30°C, better cooling for staff, and the right to drink water on duty. The union also pushes for full London living wage accreditation, as some contractors still fall short. The V&A counters with ongoing talks, a proposed 3.6% pay rise (higher for lowest earners), and safety measures — but tensions remain as the ballot nears its end.
