DOZENS of Tate workers facing the sack protested outside one of the organisation’s London galleries on Monday as it opened its doors for the first time in four months. 

Tate Enterprise, the commercial arm of the Tate, is preparing to axe over 300 jobs in its retail, catering and publishing services at its four galleries in London, Liverpool and St Ives, according to union PCS. 

Members described the restructuring plans as a “kick in the teeth” as they greeted visitors lining up outside Tate Modern with chants of “save our jobs.”
