It fudges the issue. Does the DPG need these 19 posts or not? What is the point of making 19 staffers redundant and then replacing them with casuals with no employment rights? The point is of course that the DPG wants labour on the cheap, just like the National Gallery.

I AM a Friend of the DPG. I have just paid my annual sub. I also claim the right to criticise the Gallery Management over this scandalous proposal to axe 19 posts and replace them with casual staff. In other words, the Gallery still needs the numbers but won't pay a decent wage or abide by employment law. It would be interesting to see the salaries paid to DPG management. But then it is all symptomatic of the age we live in where workers' rights are ignored (and don't charge me with indulging in socialist rhetoric - this is all about common sense and decency). JT
