CULTURAL workers from major theatres and arts venues across London will walk out on strike tomorrow as part of the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with Palestine.
The walkout will see workers gather at South Bank and has been organised by an independent group of cultural workers from various institutions and support from groups including The Freedom Theatre, Artists on the Frontline, Stop the War Coalition (StWC), CND and Skin Deep magazine.
Gathering on Theatre Avenue at noon, the workers will be calling on all arts and cultural organisations to end their silence on the war in Palestine and join the calls for an immediate, permanent ceasefire.
