On Thursday morning, over 100 MSF staff at the British Film Institute walked out for the third week running in a dispute over pay.

BFI director Jon Teckman today met with unionists in what was reported to be an unconstructive meeting. Workers at the Film Council are paid over 50% more than BFI workers who perform similar tasks. The union is asking for a measly 4% increase, with better conditions. A temp who was not at work last Thursday morning was told his contract had been terminated, but this decision was later reversed. While refusing workers the final 1% pay increase, at least one new management post was created, reportedly waged at over £60,000 per year.
