The appearance of the notice was a source of anger among junior staff. Tracy Edwards, the PCS union representative for Tate staff, said several workers had contacted her about it, adding that she had originally thought it was a spoof. “The staff at Tate are underpaid and overworked, and haven’t had appropriate pay rises, and this just demonstrates how divorced from reality the management at Tate are,” she said. It’s really rubbed people up the wrong way.”Edwards said the timing had proved particularly jarring for staff members. She said the number of assaults on Tate staff had also gone up recently, yet the gallery had been “reluctant to deal with the issue”.
