National Museum outsourcing plan breaches agreement
by Martina O'Leary
IMPACT have objected to plans by National Museum management to outsource inventory work, this is the cataloguing of all collections across the museum.
In a letter to National Museum management, national secretary Angela Kirk said, "The work associated with the inventory project is core work and should be carried out by directly recruited Museum staff.”
Angela added that plans to outsource inventory work is in clear breach of the outsourcing protocol under the Lansdowne Road Agreement (LRA). "During negotiations for the Public Service Stability Agreement (PSSA) the employer withdrew proposed changes to this, as such the outsourcing protocol still stands. IMPACT will raise the issue at the LRA Oversight Committee meeting for State Agencies in September,” she said.
