It's not a message the National Museum Wales would have

Llanberis was one of three of museum sites which closed this afternoon.

Members of the PCS union also walked out at the National History Museum

:01:33.:01:39.

rate for doing that, because most people want to be with their

:01:40.:01:43.

families at weekends. The museum are now looking to reduce those premium

:01:44.:01:47.

rates and also cut them away altogether over the next two years.

and has apologised for any inconvenience caused.

:02:15.:02:16.

It says it has to make difficult decisions during these challenging

:02:17.:02:19.

economic times, but it's mitigating the impact

:02:20.:02:21.

by increasing the basic pay for the lowest paid staff by at least 2%

:02:22.:02:26.
