Liverpool museum staff on fourth day of strikes

250 staff at six Liverpool museums staged their fourth one-day strike in three months today.

The dispute is over pay offer which staff describe as being at half the rate of inflation, and involves admin, conservation and other staff.

Staff at the National Gallery in London also staged strike action over pay in 2006.
