DEMO – TODAY – Tuesday 3 October at 12.00
Assemble – outside Scottish Parliament building
After abandoning plans for swingeing cuts to Scotland’s arts & culture industries in February this year, Culture Secretary Angus Robertson has suddenly announced the Scottish Government will reimpose a 10% funding cut just weeks before the next round of funding awards.
The Scottish Government is putting thousands of jobs at risk with this cut of millions of pounds into the sector.
Fair work in the culture sector will be impossible in the face of this cut, and it is trade union members who will suffer the consequences of job losses, lower pay, and precarious work.
Join our demo to demand Deputy First Minister Shona Robison and Culture Secretary Angus Robertson reverse these cuts immediately.
