After staging an initial staff walk-off on 27 August, AGNSW gallery workers marched off the job again on Tuesday (16 September) – this time calling directly on NSW Parliamentarians to end the gallery’s restructure, which will see 51 jobs lost after the State government cut $5.8 million from AGNSW’s budget.
Outlining staff concerns, Public Service Association (PSA) General Secretary Troy Wright highlighted the NSW Government’s continued insistence that AGNSW benchmark its staffing structure against the NGV’s model, which, when examined in raw terms, makes for a confusing comparison.
