Tate is reducing its workforce by 7% (about 40 staff) due to ongoing financial deficits worsened by the pandemic. The cuts will mainly occur through voluntary departures and hiring freezes, as cultural institutions face economic challenges. Tate aims to eliminate its deficit while continuing to deliver programs and expand its collection. The Prospect union supports affected staff, emphasizing the importance of museum workers. The arts sector is struggling with reduced attendance and funding cuts, prompting institutions to consider drastic measures.
